Disney responds to Disney+ hacked accounts: ‘No evidence of a security breach’


A big question is why hackers would purchase account info for Disney or any other service – given that they would likely be disabled in short order for suspicious activity. One possibility is that cybercriminals would intend to use the login details to try to attack other services, as users often reuse the same passwords for multiple sites. — AFP

LOS ANGELES: Thousands of Disney+ accounts have reportedly been hacked and stolen – and offered for sale on underground cybercrime forums. Disney has now responded, saying only a "small percentage" of the service's 10 million-plus users have seen their usernames and passwords compromised and that Disney+ systems were not breached by hackers.

"We have found no evidence of a security breach," a Disney rep said in a statement to Variety. "We continuously audit our security systems and when we find an attempted suspicious login we proactively lock the associated user account and direct the user to select a new password."
