RE: Was Disney+ hacked within 24 hours of launch? Not quite...

in #security5 years ago

Dear @culgin

Wow. I never knew about Disney+ and I surely didn't hear about their users being hacked. Interesting news buddy,

Your suggested reasons behind those hacks does sound valid. It surely must be very encouraging to steal account which has been paid for 3 years upfront. But wouldn't owners of those accounts receive access to them very easily (I presume each account is linked "for good" with some email and password can be reseted anytime).

Finally, if you do not have a basic antivirus installed on your PC, then you should consider getting one.

Which one would you suggest? Let's say that I'm not interested in anything free. Just middle-prices product. Something that wouldn't slow down my laptop to much? Any recommendations? (is Kaspersky good in your opinion?)

Yea, I think the accounts should be linked to an email. But it is possible that once the account is hijacked, the user can request for an email change, effectively taking over the subscription.

For paid AV, you can consider checking out Bitdefender. Kaspersky is solid as well 🙂
