⚠️ New Twitch Email Scam.⚠️
Do not be fooled by an email claiming to be "Twitch Automated Audio Detection Systems" that asks you to verify your rights to use audio.
A Twitch browser extension used by nearly 31,000 people has been caught sending users' login tokens to servers controlled by its developer.
The extension, “Twitch Enhanced Viewer,” was available on Chrome and Firefox and promised ad-free viewing and 1080p streams in regions where they might normally be restricted.
It sent users’ Twitch tokens to its own servers whenever they watched a stream. These tokens can work almost like a login, so someone who obtains them could access parts of a Twitch account, including private messages, chat and settings without the password.
The tokens were also sent as part of a web address and could have been saved in server logs.
The developer has released Firefox version 85.8.7 to fix the issue but the Chrome update is still being reviewed.
Nearly 31,000 users could have been affected.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI.
Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
@DatShadowWolf At this point, I'm going to start calling out those who claim to be so-called "artists".
I'm sick and tired of getting ts on Twitch, TikTok, Discord, Bluesky, and Twitter.
I can def tell by an account that was recently made, stolen/ai traced art, and normie graphic art style.
How to easily make an animated TTS pet for your Twitch stream, that chat can activate with channel points.
Using 1 easy OBS plugin and Twitch's free Alert system.
No advanced coding or extra programs required. Can support multiple voices / characters.
