News:
Disney Plus Accounts Are Already Being Hacked and Sold online
On November 12th, 2019 the day Disney Plus went live user accounts where hacked.
"Hijacked Disney+ accounts are being sold online just hours after Disney's new streaming service launched, reports have claimed.
Many of these stolen accounts are being offered for free on hacking forums or are available for sale with prices ranging from $3 to $11, despite the fact that a legitimate Disney+ subscription only costs $7."
“ Disney+ credentials
The hackers behind these account takeovers were able to mobilize quickly to steal Disney+ account credentials and make them available for sale online. This suggests that they either gained access to these accounts by either using leaked credentials from past data breaches or by using info-stealing malware.
Hacking forums now have thousands of Disney+ accounts available for sale but ZDNet also discovered that some forums were giving away these credentials for free so that the hacker community could use and share them with others.
