Well, I’ve got to throw this out there.

Disney +, nice new streaming service... Hacked! http://globalnews.ca/news/6185648/disney-plus-accounts-hack-dark-web/

Thousands of accounts with passwords are out there for anyone to use!
Disney was quoted as saying there was no security breach on their servers.
So what may be happening is something called “Credential stuffing”


What that is, is basically someone takes a bunch of user names and passwords from a previous breach and throw them at the server, and see which ones take.
Where do they get them? Well on the dark web, there is a huge repository of all this data, billions of user names, passwords, credit card numbers, you name it. All available to those that know where to look, and able to pay for it.
So for now, check out the news stories I have posted, you will learn a little bit more about the hack, and credential stuffing.

Hopefully people out there are starting to read these! Take them seriously, there is no “it won’t happen to me” on the internet. Basically, if you’re connected to the internet, someone knows you are.
