Twitch add-on JeetBot leaks 30,000 users' OAuth tokens to Russian bot service

Security firm Socket found that the Chrome and Firefox extension 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,' which promises ad-blocking and forced 1080p playback, secretly captures users' Twitch OAuth session tokens. The credentials are routed through proxy servers run by JeetBot, a Russian-language streaming and chatbot service, where they land in plaintext request logs accessible to the vendor. The extension exempts ten hardcoded Russian-language channels from this behavior, and its own store listing admits earlier versions sent tokens to its servers outright.

Surfshark confirms breach of internal test and proxy servers, no user data affected

Surfshark disclosed that hackers gained access to an internal engineering test server after a misconfiguration left it exposed to the internet, along with a separate proxy server used for content-accessibility optimization. The company says the exposed systems contained build credentials, code history and system binaries, but no user identities, IP addresses, encryption keys or browsing traffic were compromised. Suspicious activity was spotted on August 31, contained by September 2, and remediation finished three days later.
