So if ‘they’ are now hacking Facebook/ Twitter accounts
Way back when, before facebook, the online games used to have account farms run by third parties, for a pittance you could buy an account, often loaded up with stuff you would otherwise spend days or weeks collecting. Tremendously useful if you were playing World of Warcraft and couldn’t be varsed to run through thirty yawnsome introductory missions before you accrued a Shiny Sword of +5.
The account farms just work for a different, darker paymaster now.
