The Golden Age of Minecraft's ILLEGAL Accounts

I've been making videos on illegal "invalid" accounts since May of 2020, and there's been quite a few of them at that. But for years now, I've been working with old accounts and old stories, since there hasn't been many new discoveries... until the start of 2021. Whether because of migration, or higher account prices, or simply boredom, new illegal usernames are popping up left and right, faster than anyone has ever seen. In this episode of Minecraft Uncovered, we take a look at the golden age of illegal Minecraft accounts.

When he says "acquired" he actually means "stolen", don't misunderstand new folks!

[@mcbyt]

Usually, but not always. There's a variety of ways that accounts end up in the community, so I usually just say "acquired" to cover my bases. Plus, not everybody wants it public how they got an account, so it's out of respect for the current and original owners, as well.

[@ronwand9081]

@@mcbyt I was talking about the accounts in this video, all of the ones "acquired" were all brute forced into and were stolen, the original owners aren't even aware of that. You say "usually" but cmon be real, all the current invalids thay are active in the community are all stolen, you can't deny that.

[@Jubean]

@@mcbyt I agree with Ron rod, this is stealing and hacking other people's accounts and is not right and these people, no matter what they think they are doing and what intentions they have, it is just not correct for them to be doing this

[@to3593]

"Gotta respect the owner's privacy of course" Don't you mean "Gotta respect the thief's privacy of course"?

[@mcbyt]

Sure.

[@mcbyt]

@a I don't support thieves. Many of these accounts are in the hands of the original owner. I have worked tirelessly to keep the community safe from account theft, creating entire videos on the subject. I have spent days at a time helping individuals recover their accounts. I have denounced the behavior of several account thieves and scammers. I have made my stance on this matter very clear, and if someone cannot be bothered to research before criticizing me, it is simply not my problem.

[@ladflaver4008]

The fact that there is a market for stolen invalid accounts is frustrating. Anyone who breaks into accounts to sell them should get a life.

[@mcbyt]

True, but fortunately, the owners of these accounts are long gone, inactive for 10+ years in most cases. Not saying it's alright, but it could be much worse, so I'll count my blessings haha

2:29 the letters ı and İ exists in the Turkish alphabet and many Turkish people don’t realize those letters don’t exist in English so chances are both of these accounts are owned by Turkish people.

Wanted to comment, Mineplex kb feels weird because it's Micro battles specifically lool no one moves in thst game

[@pseudoe]

Can someone explain to me how they find these invalid names? This is all so interesting to me.

[@scarecrow8201]

They use a UUID checker and have a whole list of UUIDs to old accounts, from my understanding they just run their checker and have it flag those UUIDs linked to usernames with invalid characters. The reason they keep these usernames so private after finding them is so they can brute force their way into it, steal it and make it their own and sell it, pretty much most of the people who discover them just do it do it to either sell, or for attention in a block game or both.
