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 users affected are from Germany, as reported by the Heise news website.
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 the log-in data on the website can be used to download the full version of the game, one can also play the game on behalf of the legal owner.
However, with each leakage αυτού του είδους προκύπτει ένα πιο σημαντικό ζήτημα, αυτό της ανακύκλωσης του κωδικού πρόσβασης. Είναι πια ένα γνωστό ότι πολλοί χρησιμοποιούν τον ίδιο code access to connect to other online accounts as well.
Cyber criminals know it and will of course test entry credentials that have leaked to other online services.
