Stolen Paysite usernames & passwords etc?
 

With everyone always talking about the Tube type sites stealing content etc, I never see many people talking about the huge amount of usernames and passwords available just by doing a quick google search. How come there are so many out there & does it worry anyone at the amount of sites listing usernames and passwords to paysites? They are so easy to come by, just by doing a google search.

I was just wondering what kind of security are paysites doing to prevent this type of theft, and how exactly do people get access to these usernames?

Sorry if this seems like a simple question to some, I'm just looking to learn something I don't necessarily know.

:1orglaugh

I don't worry about them at all, that's what PhantomFrog is for. :)

I dont even think about them, dont get me wrong we all learn somewhere, so before I had strongbox it was a forever growing nightmare, thats also during a time when people actually paid for Bandwith

free passwords are nice.......... not that i give any out, of course

You do know that sponsors feed the password lists to promote their sites, right? Smart webmasters take something like that and turn it on its head and make it work for them...

ah see I didn't know that.. thanks onebit!

See now i know, who said you can't learn something on GFY lol

Ah, i have a good answer to that one. Because its old and nobody cares anymore. There used to be the same amount of threads and blah blah about password till they found out they cant do anything about it anyway and its part of the internet so they put their head back up their asses and waited for something else. Now its torrentz and zango but give it a few months and they'll find something else. Thats how these idiots work here.

Thats maybe 0.1% of the passes out there. Very few people do that. Then again Minusonebit doesnt have much clue about this industry so i cant blame him for telling you that.

is easier to get and sue uploading kid than clever hacker ;)

Ah, that's how they get well converting traffic

It converts horrible. You need tons of it.

every paysites with clue has protection for that stuff
