This week, Matt Mosley and Kash Izadseta cover the news of the week! Amazon's streaming platform Twitch hacked. Over 100GB of critical & proprietary data exfiltrated and shared to the public! The entire Facebook ecosystem crashed this week. Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, & Oculus to mention a few were offline for hours! How did it effect us?

Amazon's enormously popular game streaming platform, Twitch, is once again in the news (for all the wrong reasons), as it deals with the fallout of a data breach and "malicious" hack that left the streaming giant's source code in public hands and its streamers answering questions about their own earnings. But with such sensitive information out in the open there is much to discuss, both with respect to the nature of Twitch as a service and the laws surrounding a breach of this magnitude. I suspect Twitch is rather sick of being a subject...in Virtual Legality.

Now we can. From sportsrants- Amazon's Twitch most high profile teams, Twitch Rivals, have announced an official partnership with Samsung Electronics America on a one-year mobile gaming deal for a series of online competitions.According to Deadline, the Samsung Galaxy will exclusively host regular mobile gaming challenges and events. Their new partnership agreement was formalized during one of Twitch Rivals live twitch streams during CES. Twitch views the partnership will enable users to “fully engage in the unparalleled chat and interactivity that feeds the Twitch community” Lou Garate, global head of sponsorship sales at Twitch said. “As livestreaming and esports continue to grow exponentially, we look forward to working with Samsung to help the engaged and dedicated gaming audience access their Twitch Rivals content wherever and whenever they want it.”Oasis - This seems like an obvious step considering the popularity of mobile gaming. What are your thoughts on competitive candy crush? Minecraft Twitch Streamer Loses All His Followers at Once In our first strange piece of news, A streamer did something so offensive that he lost all his followers overnight. His offense! Streaming on twitch.From game rantNathan is a regular streamer on Twitch who mostly streams Minecraft. Over the course of two years, Nathan built up a respectable following streaming Minecraft that, while not equaling any of the titans of Twitch, is still a powerful thing to accomplish. Yesterday, on January 13, 2021, almost all of Nathan's Twitch followers vanished in the course of a single night.It should come as no surprise that Minecraft is a popular game to stream, since a streamer can take it in any direction. Dedication to a single project, exploration, or just fun activities for when a streamer or their chat is bored. All of these helped Nathan get to around 21,000 followers throughout the last two years. Then, one morning, Nathan awoke to discover that number had dropped to seven. The reason for this sudden follower loss is still unknown, but hopefully Twitch Support is looking into it. This is one of the more extreme manifestations of Twitch's technical problems, but certainly not the only one. Symphonic -  This almost seems worst than being botted. What should they do in a situation like this?Twitch is sending out personalized 2020 recap emails starting todayMany have been receiving these personalized recaps from twitch about their twitch habits. Although there have been many reports of users only getting one of the several recaps.  From dot esportsTwitch is in the process of sending out 2020 Twitch Recap emails today, full of details on what channels you watched, how long you watched them, what channels you subscribed to, and even what your favorite emote was.The email also includes your most-watched categories of the year, so you can know just how much time you spent in the Just Chatting section or flipping back and forth between multiple Among Us streams.If you haven't gotten a recap email yet, be patient. Twitch said they'll be rolling out throughout the day.Rogue -  did you have any issue getting your recap? Tech/Game/Social Media News4. Mario Kart is the most stress-inducing video game: Study Lastly, They must have been playing on rainbow road when they did this study. Mario kart has been named the most stress inducing video game.According to a study commissioned by BonusFinder, one of Nintendo's signature games, Mario Kart, was found to be the most stressful to play.The commissioned researchers worked with 14 competitive gamers to play 16 of the most popular and challenging games out there.While playing, the gamers' heart rates were also measured. While playing a 30-minute Mario Kart session, players experienced elevated heart rates by an average of 21 beats per minute (BPM), which is a 32.8% increase over resting rate.While Mario Kart generated the highest amount of stress among players, Dark Souls III (an action and role-playing game) contained moments that produced the largest heart rake spikes at 127 BPM during a boss fight with character Darkeater Midir.Viral multiplayer game Fall Guys produced the second-most heart rate spikes at 125 BPM, particularly when players competed in the final rounds and were close to winning.On the opposite end,  popular games such as Animal Crossing, The Sims and Skyrim lowered heart rates below their resting rates, according to the study.Symphonic - what would you guess is the most stressful game for you?5. Instagram's Testing an Option to Unhide Total Like Counts on Posts Cyber bullying is back. Just kidding but like counts on posts are making a comeback. MaybeFrom social media today- According to a new discovery by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram's currently testing a new option which would enable users to hide or unhide like counts on their posts.That would enable users to display their total like counts for each post once again, which Instagram removed for most users back in 2019 as part of an initiative to support audience wellbeing.The theory, at the time, was that by removing like counts on posts, that would reduce competition over vanity metrics, which would in-turn lessen social comparison, and its associated negative impacts.No data has been released to show how effective this was.Oasis - Do you think this is a positive change? 6.

Kevin Smith has announced he is done the first draft of clerks 3.From the pieceIn a Facebook post published on Thursday, writer/director/pop culture enthusiast Kevin Smith revealed that he has "just finished" the first draft of Clerks 3.

The Office Showrunner Says Revival is Now More Likely with Peacock Does your life need a little hopium in it? Well here is something to get your hopes up. The Office Showrunner Says Revival is Now More Likely with PeacockFrom geek feedWith the show coming to NBC's streaming service, Peacock, showrunner Greg Daniels has implied that a revival is now more likely.“I think it's probably more likely now the show's on Peacock, but no plans right now certainly. People are more open to it now, it seems. The issue is, what is left to be said about the characters. There's been some talk of maybe a Friends-style reunion kind of thing. I don't know. It's still kind of vague.”When asked what a reunion could be about, Daniels said that maybe they could just shoot something in the vein of a ‘lost episode' and just shoot it like it was still 2010. With a lot of The Office characters having moved on from Dunder Mifflin by the finale, it wouldn't make sense for all of them to still be together 10 years later.Oasis - what do you think of this strategy if they do decide to bring the show back?9.  Tom Cruise Reportedly Buys Robots to Enforce COVID Safety on Film Set What can you say about this next story other than I welcome our robot overlords After he was recorded shouting at film set employees for breaking COVID-19 restrictions, Tom Cruise has reportedly purchased two robots designed to patrol the set of Mission Impossible 7 when it resumes film next week, The Sun reports.The robots, which can reportedly administer on-the-spot COVID-19 tests, were purchased by Cruise.
