My guess is it was an disgruntled employee who took a copy of all this data.

Theorypothesis: the pre-Amazon acquisition company had very informal access controls, and Amazon is known for limiting how much change it imposes on acquisitions, so didn't know about this or didn't change to a more corporatey way of controlling access.

IIRC twitch was always very resistant to Amazon processes like COEs, so I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed back on stricter access controls too.

It is even weirder if it is an employee. What kind of employee has access to both code and payment data?
