I was curious as to why I got an email about my defunct twitch account being logged in.
Does OP have a link to the original story about the hacks?

It's basically account stuffing. A large chunk of the stolen information came from the Town of Salem breach. Attackers used that login information on twitch and other platforms to get access.
