    PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) — A Beaverton man was indicted for his part in a scheme to steal and resell customer account details for popular streaming services, according to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office-District of Oregon.
According to the indictment, between February 2018 to March 2019, Samuel Joyner, 30, and Evan McMahon, 23, of Sydney, Australia, created and operated an online service called AccountBot. The service offered paid subscription service for customers to get account credentials to access popular internet streaming services at a reduced rate.
Joyner and McMahon illegally acquired the usernames and passwords by doing credential stuffing attacks, a computer hacking technique to obtain large sets of account credentials from large data breaches, according to a press release. AccountBot customers paid between $1.79 to $24.99 in fiat or cryptocurrency.
