Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials

[Gargulan]

Ok, seriously, why do people do this crap (stealing passwords and other info)?  It just wastes everyone's time.  There are so many better, constructive things that people can do with their lives.

Stealing is easy money. Working hard is not.

Money

It's a daytime job.

If I send 100000 spam messages and just a couple of them succed I've earned enough.

It looks like you are around here for a while now, the second week I was in this forum I realized that and got an offline paper wallet although I'm still keeping some of it online and feel so insecure about it even after having all the necessary securities . Every day there is a new story of hacking, the one I remember in recent times is " Klee's " who lost some 1100btc so if you haven't setup an offline wallet yet go for it ASAP , better choose paper wallet or similar.

Proofs? Money stealing?
No damaged part?

Anti-Russian image making company.

Probably not much. It is pretty rare that passwords or other confidential information is actually copied with a copier. Most of this kind of info is usually stored digitally.

I think most of these accounts were likely duplicates and probably from websites with really weak security.

They hacked data from 420,000 websites and you can't be so sure about the only sites with weak security was targeted any website can have vulnerability like Khalil hacked Mark Zuckerberg's fb wall last year, although stealing login credential will require sneaking into database but no one can say its not possible with big fishes out there.

Looks like this revelation's been rehashed from Feb. 28, 2014.

Each time a computer visited a site, it attempted a "SQL injection," in which items like search and comment fields are filled with code meant to force the site's database to spit out its contents

sounds like that private video shit on facebook

SQL injection still works after all this time, sloppy sloppy programmers

Websites this big should have the profits the atleast put a couple million in security.
