Thousands of Disney+ Accounts Get Hacked
According to reports, The Disney+ streaming service launched November 12th and it brought in an impressive 10 million subscribers in 1 day. And within that first 24 hours, many Disney+ accounts were hacked. The accounts were reported to have been up for sale on internet hacking forums for anywhere from $3-$11.
On launching day, Disney+ had many reports of problems such as not being able to stream shows and to get anything to load at all. Amidst those complaints were users stating they could no longer access their purchased accounts. Hackers were allegedly hacking into accounts, logging users out, and changing their emails and passwords.

Disney+ account users should always remember to make unique passwords. It won’t protect you 100% but it does stand a better chance against hackers.
