Possible Twitch Security Breach Reported

Amazon's streaming platform Twitch on Monday reported a possible security breach, resetting passwords and stream keys in the process.
"We are writing to let you know that there may have been unauthorized access to some Twitch user account information," the company said in a statement.
In addition to resetting passwords and stream keys, Twitch has disconnected user accounts from Twitter and YouTube. What this means is the next time you log into Twitch, you'll be prompted to make a new password.
Anyone who uses the same or a similar password on other sites/services is urged to change those, too. Finally, Twitch said it will reach out directly to affected user with "additional details."
It is unclear how widespread the possible breach was or what kind of personal data was actually compromised. GameSpot will have more on this story as it becomes available.
Amazon paid nearly $1 billion to buy Twitch last summer, a move some saw as surprising, given the reported interest from YouTube/Google.

Was wondering what the hell was going on with my account earlier today. Reset my password and everything.

Does anyone else have issues with constant buffering while trying to watch past broadcasts? Even with a good connection I still buffer every 10 seconds sometimes and there's no option to drop the resolution

I don't with a 30bps connection. If I'm downloading multiple things though, I do have some issues.
