As the live streaming landscape evolves, cyber criminals, malicious actors, and hackers are increasingly targeting creators. Streamers urgently need official, structured, and accessible education to protect themselves from severe online threats that disrupt their livelihoods and compromise their physical safety.
I am proposing that Twitch develops a dedicated Twitch Cybersecurity Training Program (such as specialized Creator Camp modules, interactive safety classes, or certified safety streams) to teach creators how to defend against modern digital threats.

1.Preventing Swatting & Doxxing: How to proactively scrub personally identifiable information (PII) from the internet, secure digital footprints, mask IP addresses, and set up a registry or "anti-swatting" protocol with local law enforcement (such as utilizing non-emergency numbers and verification lists) to avoid dangerous emergency dispatches to their homes.

2.Mitigating Extortion & Blackmail: Educating creators on social engineering tactics, identifying phishing scams, and establishing secure boundaries to prevent financial or reputational extortion.

3.Hardening Digital Security: Best practices for multi-factor authentication (MFA), secure network configurations, isolating streaming hardware from personal data, and dealing with live cyberattacks or IP leaks.

Twitch is unique because our lives are broadcast in real-time, making safety measures highly time-sensitive. Providing official cybersecurity classes will empower streamers to safeguard their communities and, most importantly, save lives by mitigating high-risk situations like swatting before they escalate.
