[GeneralQuestions] How do the vendors that sell Spotify and Netflix accounts obtain them in the first place?

How do the vendors that sell Spotify and Netflix accounts obtain them in the first place? Is there an exploitation of the databases, or is it in fact just stealing of legitimate people's data? Would be interested to find out

hackforums(dot)net they are like 10 cents a piece there, buy 100 accounts for $10 make $100

They exploit other sites (usually forums) for databases of emails and passwords and then try to login with the email:password combos on a ton of popular sites (Spotify/Netflix/Steam/etc) using tons of proxies. If the forum user reused their password (lots of people do) they will gain access to their other accounts. The programs they use will spit out a list of emails and passwords that worked for each site. That is why they will usually give a couple of different logins when you buy one, as some of the users might have changed their passwords in the time after the account was checked.

They go door to door dressed up as cablemen or Jehovah's witnesses and sweet talk old ladies by claiming that they're finding "technical problems" and then they get the account password and the rest is history

Know a tech support worker or someone who has access to databases and they give you accounts for free or profit.

There's this cool site where you can search for pretty much anything including these, here's the link: http://www.google.com don't tell anyone though!

There's lists of hacked accounts that are shared to every corner of the clearnet, anyone making money off these on the DNMS have the right idea, but it's a stupid idea to buy from them, especially considering I've provided you with that awesome site.

Or they buy the accounts with stolen credit cards.

some google searching / pastebin searching and you can find a lot of passes for free. Look at the date posted because there is a lot of outdated stuff, but lots work for certain "entertainment" sites wink
