| Thousands Of Disney+ Accounts Are Up For Sale On Hacking Forums clickable text Disney’s hotly-anticipated streaming service Disney+ finally launched this week. Despite being open to the public for just a few days, hackers have already hijacked thousands of accounts and put them up for sale on the Dark Web. Reporting for ZDNet, Catalin Cimpanu discovered several listings for Disney+ accounts on different underground hacking forums. The going rate for a hacked account appears to be somewhere between $3 and $5. That’s three to four times more than the asking price for a hacked Netflix account. Logical enough, given the excitement around the Disney+ launch. So how is it possible that these accounts – many of which are just a few days old – have already been taken over by hackers? I haven’t seen any reports confirming the root cause, but it seems likely that bad habits are to blame. Today In: Innovation One bad habit in particular: password re-use. You should never, ever use the same password for multiple websites or online services. Security professionals have been repeating this refrain for years. Their warnings often fall on deaf ears, unfortunately. To users creating yet another account, it can feel like too much trouble to come up with a unique password to protect it. When you’re creating a new account – whether for a hot new service like Disney+ or any other – remind yourself that hackers are always lurking in the shadows and ready to attack. They’re armed with billions of email addresses (likely including yours) and billions of previously-used passwords. Using automated brute-forcing tools they can quickly break into accounts en masse. Recovering a compromised account can be tricky, too. Once a hacker has gained access they tend to move quickly. They revoke access to authorized devices and then change passwords to prevent users from logging back in. They’ll change the email address associated with an account, too, which stops users from using automated password reset tools to regain access. If you’re getting ready to sign up for Disney+ – or any other service, for that matter – get yourself a password manager first. Use it to create a unique password and let it remember that password for you. Otherwise you may find yourself fighting to regain access to your account before you even have a chance to enjoy what you’ve signed up for. I’ve reached out to Disney for a comment on the situation will update this post with its response.  |

| @ONLINE_209 The problem isn't Disney+, it's poor password habits and hacks that have already happened at other companies. If someone's been hacked and they keep using the same password, say for Disney+, then someone can take over that account the same they could take over any account using that login and password combo. | ||

| @xkonk I understand what you're saying but that's partially speculation because not everybody reuses the same passcode | ||

| Just an FYI... If you're planning on watching all of the Marvel and Star Wars movies you missed, you'll have to wait till next year. Some in January, others up to June of next frikin year! So basically don't bother signing up till 2020. They should be giving it away for free or at least half price... The two Mandelorian episodes were great, better than all of the last 5 movies put together. |

Waiting until the Mandalorian is completely released for the free trail, looks like I dodged a bullet on this one though! Might as well wait for Disney to improve their cybersecurity as well, what a joke. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster Yes, I like it. It has a very Star Wars meets a spaghetti western, also meets Kung Fu vibe to it. The first two episodes are out, and the third drops Friday. I'd give it a try, and see what you think. I do not want to spoil too much, so I'm keeping it vague. If you liked Rogue One, I think you might like this. It's a similar tone. |

| I signed up for a year's subscription but they gave you a seven day trial before you got billed. On day four of my trial the news broke about them getting hacked, so I changed my password and cancelled my subscription. |

| Just checked, 14 CGC graded copies of Star Wars 42 sold on Ebay in the last 7 days. I don't think the price has run up much yet, but It looks like Baby Yoda could have a Groot-like popularity. | ||

| Enjoying it so far , as are the kids .. so much content .. a rare thing to say about Australian streaming sites which usually have not much at all. Watched rogue one again last night and it just seems to get better with every viewing much like the OT .. I also have some catching up to do on marvel movies . |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Probably a publicity stunt. I think so much of what we see these days are publicity stunts intended to create viral awareness. The other day my son said that a pro football player was fined for wearing "Joker" cleats. I told him that if he and his friends know about it, then I'm sure the movies distributor was happy to pay the fine...as getting fined was the whole point. |
