On October 8, hackers on Twitch managed to place the Jeff Bezos PogChamp emote as the background for all game directory header images.

It is unclear if this hack is a direct result of Twitch’s leaked code, but with the wealth of info that was released to the public from that leak, it’s more than likely that the perpetrators used it to their advantage. GTA 5 was a victim of the hack, as seen by the massive Bezos eyeballs that loomed over the gamefor a few hours.
