Many users reported being unable to stream their favorite movies and shows.<\/p>\n<p>But hidden in the flood of complaints about technical issues was a smaller stream of users reporting losing access to their accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Many users reported that hackers were accessing their accounts, logging them out of all devices, and then changing the account&#8217;s email and password, effectively taking over the account and locking the previous owner out.<\/p>\n<p>Complaints like the ones above flooded social networks like Twitter and Reddit.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/thousands-of-hacked-disney-accounts-are-already-for-sale-on-hacking-forums\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"disney-reddit.png\" height=\"auto\" width=\"370\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet3.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2019\/11\/16\/08613635-9824-478a-afa2-d92458106551\/resize\/370xauto\/66c5fb043507018463321a24cc36cdc9\/disney-reddit.png\"><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet3.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2019\/11\/16\/08613635-9824-478a-afa2-d92458106551\/resize\/370xauto\/66c5fb043507018463321a24cc36cdc9\/disney-reddit.png\" class alt=\"disney-reddit.png\" height=\"auto\" width=\"370\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript> <span class=\"credit\">Image: ZDNet<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"twitterContainer\" readability=\"7.0677966101695\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"7.5389830508475\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Disney + launch has been absolutely horrible.

We asked the company about the security systems it has in place to protect users from account hijacking. We did not receive a response before this article&#8217;s publication.<\/p>\n<p>But to be fair, the company has little it can do in these kind of things. It&#8217;s usually users&#8217; bad password practices that gets the accounts hacked. As some of the hacked users have admitted, many have reused old passwords.<\/p>\n<p>What Disney+ is facing right now is what other streaming services have been fighting against for years. Hacking forums have been overflowing with hacked Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix accounts. The reason hackers are still puting up new accounts for sale on a regular basis is because people are buying.<\/p>\n<p>The advice for Disney+ account holders is to use unique passwords for their accounts. This won&#8217;t prevent malware on their devices from stealing their passwords, but it will prevent the most common scenario of hackers gaining access to accounts just by guessing the
