Twitch blames server error for data leak

What kind of server configuration error could cause this level of leak unless there was already a ton of other security flaws already?<p>Like they managed to expose their server to a public network? But why was all this info stored just there?<p>Why was there no auth? Does this mean that every twitch employee has access to all this content at all times? Surely that&#x27;s a flaw itself.<p>If this was a flaw on a single server, they really need to reevaluate how they handle security, because a single hole shouldn&#x27;t be this devastating.<p>I&#x27;ll post that with an asterisk that I was at Sony when the Sony hack happened. If Sony had this level of separation, things could have been significantly worse (and that was already pretty terrible)
