Disney+ Already Plagued By Hackers As Thousands Of Accounts Are Sold

Despite opening with a multitude of user accounts, in addition to nearly thousands of titles between television and movies, Disney+ issues seemingly can’t escape the media. Highlighted by ZDNet, a bevy of users on the new streaming platform have found their user accounts hacked and are being sold on the web.

Going for between $3 and $10 per, according to the BBC, the hacked accounts are a window into possible problems that might plague the streaming service for years to come. Due to the fact that Disney+ login doesn’t allow for two-factor authentication, hacking has the potential to become extremely prevalent on the platform if security elsewhere isn’t tightened.

The first in the line of thousands that discovered their accounts hacked was posted on Reddit, where said user had discovered they were blocked from entering the Disney+ app. Given the fact that the streaming platform had garnered nearly 10 million subscribers upon launch, many users could be affected.

For those who believe they have a hacked Disney+ account, it’s imperative to contact Disney+ Help and maintain an avid watch on their emails. If any Disney+ users see email pertaining to a password change, contact customer service and change your password immediately.

For those that don’t yet still want to ensure their safety, simply changing one’s password and updating even their email accounts could prove worthwhile, though a cause for concern is still prudent. When logging in to Disney+, if there is an error code 86 message, again contact customer support.
