This is a pretty thorough and high profile hack on a major tech company - this isn't something I'd expect from an Amazon owned property. The hack (allegedly, I haven't downloaded it) includes
* Entire git histories
* Internal/Private AWS SDKs
* Encrypted Password dumps and payout reports
It's so comprehensive I'm very curious into how an attacker got that level of access. I can't think of another, large, corporate web 2.0 startup who's gotten owned in a similar fashion. Could the same attack work on Amazon? YouTube?
It's also strange that someone who has this level of access to what is presumably a multi-billion dollar company decided to just leak the data? Maybe they did try to ransom it, but I'd imagine someone with this kind of access inside Twitch must have had some creative way of making money.
