Crackdown on Cyber Thieves: Ukrainian Authorities Bust Global Email & Instagram Hijacking Ring
Ukrainian cyber sleuths cuff a trio of hackers for brute-forcing over 100 million emails and Instagrams. Password pilferers peddled purloined profiles on the darknet, but now face a 15-year password to prison. Tip: MFA your life for a hack-proof existence!
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like Ukraine's cyber police have decided to play cyber-whack-a-mole, and boy, did they smack down a trio of digital delinquents. These keyboard warriors thought they could brute-force their way to Instagram fame and email riches, but alas, their cyber shenanigans have been brought to an abrupt halt. Let’s be real, in the age of quantum computing, relying on '12345' as a password is like using a padlock made of cheese. And selling stolen accounts? That's the digital equivalent of a yard sale for stolen bikes – not very discreet, fellas. Remember folks, if your password is "password," you’re gonna have a bad time.
