A list of user names and passwords in plain text for more than 1.800 game accounts Minecraft leaked online.
It is not clear where the leak came from base δεδομένων, αλλά φαίνεται ότι ορισμένοι από τους χρήστες που επηρεάζονται είναι από τη Γερμανία, όπως αναφέρει η ειδησεογραφική by clicking here Heise.
The publication also reports that the cyber criminals who leaked the credentials also published proof that the accounts were valid.
Apart from the fact that website log-in data can be used to download the full version of the game, the game can also be played for account of the rightful owner.
However, any leakage of this kind results in a more important issue, that of password recirculation. It is now known that many use the same password to connect to other online accounts.
Cyber criminals know it and will of course test entry credentials that have leaked to other online services.
