Its disappointing, that Mojang locks or bans those accounts. Accounts should legally be allowed to be traded, its such a stupid concept, that an account should be bount to an person.

[@mystic-malevolence]

Maybe Miclee lucked out when Notch removed their cape. Mojang should have kept better track of who receives these 1/1 capes. It's clear dannyBstyle got his back so many times because he's a more well known figure whose identity is self-evident.

[@WildFyr]

I find it silly that the God account owner reported his account as stolen and instead of getting it back they just made it so it can't be used anymore. Really fucking helpful. Also the fact that people not only pay that much for a Minecraft Account, but also go to these lengths just to take someone else's account is crazy.

[@danese1636]

Right? "Hey, so my account has been stolen" "Oh okay, no problem. We've locked the account. Nobody can access it. Not even you. Please rate how useful this reply was!"

[@My_Old_YT_Account]

Unrelated to mc but I had the name “sex” on fortnite and couldn’t open the game because of the 20k friend requests. I sent in a suppprt ticket asking to clear them out and all they did was change my name to user and then a bunch of numbers. If you tried changing your name to sex back when I had it, it would say the username isn’t available because of language, not that it was already in use. Idk how I even got it

[@paladingeorge6098]

I feel like the moral of this story here is that if you have a valuable account, probably write down your UUID.

[@NotAJedi27]

Too bad that most of these hackers will never face the consequences of their actions.

[@ironic.]

thanks for the shoutout :) Also I owned Tokyo for 4 months before it was locked, technically 6 months if you count the first account I used to transfer the name. After those 4 months were up the account was in limbo for a few months before I managed to confirm Mojang simply moved the account back to Jokubolakis' email without either one of us knowing. At this time we had a deal that I'd pay him a service fee for helping me retrieve the account but of course, the real owner had never sold the account before and I had simply bought it from a hacker without knowing. So he had just lied and had no interest in helping me is fair although unfortunate so he simply changed his account back to normal. I understand you can't simply buy memories from a guy like that so I'm not mad at him at all.

[@anarchy_iter]

[@MrBelles104]

7:31 I feel like Mojang should continue giving back accounts to their owners if possible. Even if the owner doesn't play the game anymore, it's only right.

[@GameSharkN64]

It's too much work. Thousands of accounts are stolen/hacked/sold daily because young childeren don't secure their accounts properly.

[@andrewarnold9818]

I deployed for like a year during COVID, and when I came back and opened up Minecraft, my account name had been changed as had the skin. Luckily, since the email was the same, and hadn't been hacked, I just had to change the password. Still weird, as my account name wasnt anything that special, but I imagine it was because some people purchase bot or throwaway accounts through black market means.

[@Werk4Cash]

Don’t lie, you just forgot to migrate didn’t you

[@jehmarxx]

Lemme give this player a one-of-a-kind cape so that he will be the target of hackers.

[@GameSharkN64]

Or just secure your account properly and setup your 2fa to be unrecoverable by social engineering. My accounts have not even been remotely close to obtainable for s1mmers.

[@Diamnnte]

Luckily since these accounts are so old that some aren’t active that the owner would just not notice but for the active ones it must be horrible that you are a target of hacking just bc u have a cool name or u did something good for the game. These buyers need to start thinking abt the original owners when they buying these accounts ngl

[@blakexe]

The fact Mojang really has the audacity to wonder why people go crazy over caped accounts despite humanity’s history of greed and obsession with exclusive things...

[@lasercraft32]

Sometimes its just really annoying how humans have this tendency to be like "rare thing is rare so worth lots of money." Its kinda dumb, especially with something so _pointless_ as a digital minecraft account with a neat cape or a novelty username.

[@zetertheduck]

I wonder how things will go when Microsoft deletes the accounts that haven't migrated. If you can take the names of those old accounts, I wonder what chaos will ensue.

[@HotRat00]

There's always a collector who wants a rare thing even if its just pixels

[@Werk4Cash]

How do you make it look like you have the username and cape? Is it some kind of mod or command?

[@Beardedlizzy]

I had my original Minecraft account stolen multiple times. It had a good OG username, and it had a Minecon cape from Minecon 2016. I was really angry because there didn't seem to be any security measures in place to prevent somebody from just setting up a basic password-cracking bot and breaking into my email and Mojang account with minimal effort. The email was a Yahoo-mail email and it was only a sub-account of another email address. And at the time my account was not eligible to upgrade to a Microsoft account. Neither of these accounts seemed to have any password cracking protection, and there was no option to set up something like two-factor verification. In retrospect I should have moved my account to a different email, but after the third time Mojang support gave me my account back, I think that they blacklisted my email address, and so I just gave up at that point and bought a new account. My account must have been in a major leak because people used to email me all the time asking to buy my account, but I never had any intention of selling it, and now I don't even own it anymore.
