15-Jähriger verhaftet, weil er über 40.000 Anime-Konten abgemeldet hat

If a company can get hacked by a fifteen year old with chatgpt, they deserve it.

He did 40,000 people a favor.

AI won’t make a virus. a lot goofy stories like this now. He opened up his browser’s developer tools, hit inspect, went to the network tab, clicked cancel subscription on his own account, and looked at exactly what data packet his browser sent to bandai’s servers. He asked chatgpt to write a script to loop it 40,000 times with different user IDs, and ran it. Watch out world! Someone immediately saw that these requests were coming from a concentrated source not individual users. They blocked his IP address and then found him. The real story is: why doesn’t bandai have no authorization checks or request validations? A massive corporation investing millions into content and branding, while their backend infrastructure is bullshit. I love it!!

Just to show how dogshit Japanese IT is, no wonder China, Korea and Russia frequently launches cyberattack on them with minimal resistances

According to reports, it was possible to log in as a member without an ID or password and manipulate the accounts of unrelated individuals, suggesting a major flaw in the authentication design itself.
