Just hours after the alleged Twitch source code breach, users are reporting issues with their servers.

Users report Twitch is currently experiencing downtime due to the massive breach responsible for leaking tons of sensitive information, including passwords and payment details of high-profile streamers.

It is important to note that not all users are facing this issue. However, impacted users reveal that the Amazon-owned platform has been plagued with "Twitch Network Error 2000," which doesn't allow them to subscribe to or view their favorite channels.

Users have been appalled by what has transpired in the last few days. Facebook suffered massive downtime, with servers being down for over five hours in significant parts of the world. Twitch's private data has allegedly been leaked, with the platform experiencing massive server issues.

There is no official word around how long it could take to get to normal, as Twitch hasn't released an official statement yet.


Twitch leak reveals xQc earned the maximum revenue in September

Despite the mass exodus that took place last month, Twitch boasts the presence of several high-profile streamers.

However, according to leaked data, xQc has earned an astounding eight-figure revenue since September 2019, and no other streamer has come close to this figure.

The former Overwatch pro made upwards of $750k in September, which is more than any other streamer has made from the platform. Summit1g, famous for GTA RP streams, is second on the list, with a revenue of more than $350k.

Surprisingly, Pokimane, one of the most-watched streamers, is at the bottom of the list with a mere $38k in September.

However, it's no surprise that xQc is one of the highest-earning on Twitch. The Canadian streamer has been a great addition to the roster and has been behind much of the hype on the Amazon-owned streaming platform.

During the mass exodus, everyone feared that xQc, too, would defect to YouTube Gaming. However, the variety streamer made it clear that he signed an exclusive Twitch contract a while ago.

According to the leaks, he has been the driving force and has received enough credit for his contribution.
