Amazon Inc`s Twitch unit said on Monday there may have been unauthorized access to some of its user account information, according to the live streaming gaming network`s official blog.

Twitch said it had expired passwords and stream keys, and disconnected accounts from Twitter and YouTube to protect the users.

As a result, the consumers will be prompted to create a new password the next time they try to log into their Twitch account, according to a message on its official blog.

Amazon bought Twitch Interactive last year for $970 million, beating out a rival bid from Google Inc.
