Not sure if I'm missing something, but the article doesn't seem to match the headline?

The only login-relevant information I can find is from a sql connection request which has 1 username and password hardcoded into the command (presumably a employee login to access an internal database). Nowhere in the article do I see anything about user emails and passwords.

They successfully got you to click and skim over the page. Mission accomplished.

Twitch's blog directly denies presently the theft of what they term "login credentials" which seems we can reasonably presume includes passwords.
