It's not only about warning people how much it's risky to buy stolen accounts.

Most people who understand this business will never buy account knowing the risk that they might be compromised.

An auction for 62,000 accounts belonging to E-toro users is a horrible news.

This is indeed a catching news with that huge numbers of compromised accounts that are involved from this hacking news.

This leads me to think on how all those accounts have been stolen, and that someone reading this may must have his account compromised.

If you are using this platform the first that comes in your mind is the chance that you are one from those huge list.

What's up? It is not new in life.

Don't buy any account on any platform (the forum, P2P marketplaces, exchanges, emails, PayPal, etc.) if you don't want to get annoying troubles, sometimes with financial loses or jail punishments. Who knows?

Thanks op for great information, account privacy and security Ian important factor to consider, not only changing password but setting up 2FA, SMS, Email and other security factors are mandatory now. Buying accounts is not new in the crypto space and i will never advise any users to develop such act of purchasing account because penalties and other form of punishment may be attached in future. You might not know.

From the start, people choose to do this (buying accounts) because they want to do something shady and they believe or hope that there will be nothing bad knocks their doors. Such a life, sometimes their doors will be knocked without invitations.

And we all know that E-Toro has a platform that includes crypto trading. And there are news that someone is selling E-Toro accounts in hackers forum.

So just to be in the safe side, better change your password now.
