To clear this up:
No, not true. The software in the screenshot called Open Bullet and it's basically a request builder for Selenium (ok it's more than that but you get the idea). You add in lists of usernames/passwords (from database dumps) and it runs your script. You have success/fail reporting, and that's where you get "Hits: 4"
> Ads on the dark web for stolen Disney+ accounts
That's a sellers page from shoppy.gg — not the dark web.
- rvz 7y agoWhile you are correct, the BBC are 'really trying' their best to explain this disaster to the average John and Jane. But again they are still in the middle-ages when it comes to mentioning the technical side of these 'attacks'. Says pretty much a lot about them when it comes to technology in general.
- joshmn 7y agoI understand that. I wish that they would at least correct the first photo of the combos. Saying that there are 4000 accounts when there are 4 is misleading. "A hacker checking the logins of 4,000 potential accounts" is better and more accurate subtext.
- AshwinDurairaj 7y agoI'm laughing too. Its all opportunistic as Disney+ is hot on the news right now. Wait till they find out that these tools are cracking Hulu, Reddit etc etc, probably also the BBCs own site. And I guarantee the net is more than 4000 for them.
- pcroh 7y agoWell... it's the BBC. What did you expect?
