3 cents is a steal
I've litterally seen youtubers accept partnerships with alt shops and then complain gommehd removed thier youtube rank (ja, ich meine dich, esdeath). I see so many people just not realizing what alt shops really are, and it's honestly scary.
It is indeed
Die deutsche Minecraftszene ist eh komplett scuffed
Oh no, FitMC...
He did exactly that in one episode.

@@somebodythattrulyexists28 which one
vepex be like
I thought these alt shops sold accounts for about $1-2 per, not something as low as 3 cents. These accounts really are crazy cheap.
Exactly
3 cents bro i bought my acc for 40 xD
@@breathable7326 that's sad
Just purchasing a username and password goes for 1-3 cents, since you can't do too much with them. Getting email access with the purchase is where you get closer to $1-5. and getting accounts not yet migrated to Mojang (since migrating to their login method is virtually painless and doesn't require the old email, just user/pass) can go for up to $20 each, but $5-10 is more normal.
microsoft bought minecraft for 2.5 billion but people are getting it for 3 cents lol
Buying hundreds of accounts to cheat on Minecraft servers has got to be the saddest thing I've ever heard.
Haha yea
Depends how you look at it
Yeah they must get bored at some point right?
@@TheMisterEpic unban me
Agreed. I understand that you might be bored or whatever, but why go throught the effort of buying accounts, a VPN and a client just to cheat in a block game wtf.
A lot of og names in mc are sfa accounts and unmigrated, when the microsoft migrations happens they will be affected massively
That's a fat L 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎
this is why you dont snipe onto sfa's kids
Does that mean the usernames will be free to take?
Whoever sniped on SFAs is stupid i mean the original owner can just change the password anytime at least do it on full access accounts
It will be affected but if prices swell to dollars, no one will purchase them. Accounts are compromised through credential stuffing. Through an automated system, people obtain database leaks from other websites and test them on the targeted platform. It’ll be harder on Microsoft, but due to the lack of purchases and because new methods are being discovered, account prices will actually drop over time. Plus ghost cheating will also grow. Yes I am a Minecraft cheater if you’re wondering…
You sir, earned a new sub.
I had no idea minecraft accounts were being sold like this. It also kinda scared me. Great job!
Thank you!
@@TheMisterEpic I used a launcher named tluancher to play minecraft for free cuz I don't have that many money

6:01 “You can buy a piece of s**t in a box that’s marked with a guarantee, and what you get is a guaranteed piece of s**t”
Indeed lol
i know where that quote's from lmao
I've used one of these in the past called the altining. the accounts worked and the ones that were advertised as being unbanned from hypixel were, in fact unbanned, however, after a week or so the accounts stopped working. I suspect this is because they sell the same accounts to multiple people, so when someone else buys an account you previously bought, they change the account password so it stops working for people who already bought them.
Yep that seems about right
@@jackxson6109 no they got exposed for reselling recently, and the reason they stop working is because nfas just get locked after a while
@@Hackermanlmao lol you here too?
No, thats just how nfa accounts work.
If you want to keep using the account get a full accses account.
Unexpected turn when you began talking about the account migration, but very insightful. New perspective on why Mojang is doing this migration, now.

damn this Redacted site is everywhere
Hahahaha
lmaoo
@@Tenno_M if something is redacted, then it is hidden, for example if you go to a book and draw black marker over the lines so you cant see them, that is called redacting them. So themisterepic hid the names of the sites and instead wrote "redacted", because he doesn't want them to get attention
Lol
Great video, I have seen many of these shops and most got shut down but still somehow make stuff somehow.
9:15 It's true that ToS technically disallows to transfer ownership to someone else, but the thing is that it just disallows to transfer of access to *the website*. I guess this access - is a pack of login, password and secret questions, so this "account tokens" and projects like MineLe**s are rather allowed?
My account got stolen with a semi full access account - im glad i was able to save it
That's good you for it back
They dont have the password to your email, gmail has pretty good security, atleast enough to keep script kiddies away.
Did you get banned on like hypixel?
@@gamesilisk2023 I actually did! The lame person who bought it also changed my username to Sir_Tunahan
Mine got too once, during a few month period where I didn't play minecraft and didn't check my emails so often, so I didn't even notice that I got a notification that my password has been changed. Eventually I tried to play minecraft again but found that my username was different and my password too so I changed it back. (also changed my Gmail account password just to be sure). Didn't know what the guy who stole my account did with it in the time I didn't play at first but when i logged onto hypixel skyblock to check it out one day, I had a bunch of what I assume is late game items already. So uh, thanks hacker, I guess?
the cheating videos are from glory, hackingmc, and an unknown youtuber (they’re playing gomme, so i’d assume its ghost or haze or another german youtuber)
the shops shown are alts rip (trash shop, overpriced), alts shop (at least i’m pretty sure it’s alts shop, iirc it’s a scam shop), thealtening (not a scam shop, but they resell alts)
i’m not really into cracking accounts anymore, but i’ll try my best to explain. the two main methods used are combo leechers and sqli dumping. basically how combo leechers work is you input keywords (usually generated with a keyword tool), then it searches those keywords and finds paste sites such as pastebin, and if it finds any email:pass combos it’ll put them into a text file. i can’t really explain sqli as i don’t know how it works. so after you get your combos from sqli or a combo leecher, you need a checker, a program that automatically checks to see if those combinations are valid. you also need proxies, basically different ip addresses, since eventually your ip will get banned. after you input your combinations and proxies, it’ll start checking to see if any of them are valid, and if they are, it saves them. there’s also credential stuffing which is basically taking a combo from a database leak and trying it on other websites since people sometimes use the same passwords for every site
hope that made sense lol
The other is from haze.
“Under ground alt shops” I have gotten an ad on UA-cam of thealtening lol
anyone else just realise that all of their data has been leaked and the company's who lost it proactively chose not to tell you
6:46 Well, I have information about this. These shops will use the program in the video. That program will search keywords on the internet. Those keywords are usually like Minecraft leak, 5k combo etc... After that your list will be full of mc acc but you will have to check those acc with checker. And believe me, finding a checker is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But if you do everything right there is a possibility that no accounts will work...
I had my account hacked back in 2017. Once I realised I was banned from several servers who were actually quite understanding that it wasn't me which was nice. I still feel the impact though. Yesterday I joined Cubecraft for the first time and was banned for being hacked which I quickly was able to appeal and see it was from 2017 when I was hacked.
I got a UA-cam ad for one of these websites.
UA-cam just doesn't give a sh*t about how they are getting money
This was a super interesting and insightful video. I was also surprised to learn that alt accounts cost pennies.. I’m interested to see if mojangs Microsoft transition will actually make an impact or if there will be new “clever” ways of getting alts. I wonder where these websites are hosted because they seemingly face no repercussions for stealing and selling peoples personal data.
my bet is hosting out of india......as the indian government is poor and sadly quite easy to bribe
Thank you so much for making this video! People who have been against the migration will finally find the reason that we need to migrate, which is 2fa and stop thinking that Mojang is gonna ruin Minecraft Java Edition by adding a marketplace and eventually stopping support for it.
they still could
@@vinesthemonkey, yeah but with this knowledge given to more people there will be less evidence that Mojang wants to get rid of Minecraft Java so less people will think they will.
I wouldn't see less alt accounts as a positive thing. The problem with less accounts is that cheaters are more likely to hide the fact that they are cheating, which means there will be even more closet cheaters. Closet cheaters usually use stuff like very small amount of reach or aimassist, which is much harder to detect for servers and have an overall more negative impact on the community.
No java edition needs marketplace I like marketplace

I would love to see this get big again, nearly seven years ago this began happening.
What do you mean by "get big again"? Do you want to see more alt shops and cheaters?
Yeah, I remember that time, I was using an stolen account that my brother got I assume by purchasing it, and he lost it a couple of months later, the original user managed to recover it.
That was also the time when minecraft windows 10 edition got released, so I got that free code that mojang gave away to all java accounts just before the account was recovered.

The reason they use bitcoin is because it's way less traceable than a credit card payment, that's why it's frequently used on the dark net
Yep that's why it's even more suss that's it's the only form of payment they take
Is that why Bitcoin is so popular...?
@@beanface7408 Bitcoin first got popular because of dark web drug trades. It's mainly popular now because if you play your cards right you can get a lot of money off of it.
with the right method, Bitcoin is now easy to trace, since all transactions are public on the blockchain (the net behind bitcoin and other cryptos)
@@xMoosh I know it wasn't obvious but I was making a joke. Thanks for telling me that though.
I remember one time i logged into a minecraft server i had never been on however I spawned in someone's base. There were multiple players in the base and they tried to figure out who I was. Turns out my account info had been sold to them and by sheer coincidence I logged into the same server they used.
I have bought dozens of N/SFA's and the thought of "stolen accounts" never crossed my mind and this video reminded me of that.
You know what, I'm going to email the original owners of said accounts just to know that their account was stolen.
The right thing to do.
That's very nice
lol i did the same they never replyed
1:09 THAT. That shop right there is something I got an ad for. It made me absolutely mad at what I saw. They even sell the accounts with minecon capes.
It sounds more illegal than it actually is
True.
Microsoft needs to ban them.
@@MilkIsTheOne I don’t think they can do that
@@yespapa8102
Oh.
@@yespapa8102 if they wanted to, Microsoft could sue and take down almost anything
Quite the opposite. These alt shops have gotten really good at making their illegal operations sound legitimate.
all this won't be happening if minecraft wasn't so expensive
Or maybe don't hack and don't get your main banned
Youve grown so much since 12k, it seems like that was yesterday.
:)
I play on a hardcore anarchy server and a ton of people buy alts through these sites. They ruin the "hardcore" part of the server by just joining with alts instead of dying and having their 1 account perma banned.
I always thought the alt shops seemed shady, good video
Thanks
These make me sick, my heart would be broken if i couldn't log into my account, ive been playing since 2014, on a cracked account, then in 2016 on a real one. Played earlier on cousins playstation
This is genuinely infuriating, "people" like these steal everything someone works for and then deeming it "legal". At this point it's upsetting to the point where if I had a chance to completely ruin the life if someone who was doing these things, I would. The absolute sheer anger this is causing to so many people are fucking disgusting. Whoever that supports these shitty activities and crimes must be stopped, even if this may cause their death.
Ah crud I was at the grocery store when this dropped and didn't see it
Fun Fact: Lots of those accounts gets purchased in Turkey because making your original account (with your email and purchasing minecraft from minecraft.net) costs 210 turkish liras. And those accounts are sold for 10-50 or even 5 turkish liras
Excellent video topic I’ve never seen a video on this before
Glad you enjoyed :)
Shown
Hacker: Gets banned
Also Hacker: Activating ten more monitors
I actually ran a alt shop like this. But never for real money…😢
Also, NFA (Non-Full access) accounts was often sold for ONE CENT. This was because they where so so common, I would maybe get 30 NFA’S and 2-3 SFA’S per checking session.
And YES, me and my “team”/hacking friends DID use SQL Injection for getting Minecraft Accounts.
What does non full access mean?
UFAs used to be 30-50 cents each. Now that supply is low to the sheer amount cracked they are above $10. Just last year you could get an full access account for 30 cents
The amount of time and effort that you put into these videos is amazing man. Keep the great work. It’s amazing to watch you grow
Ty my friend
I concur
I actually bought an account from one of these sketchy shops 2 or 3 years ago. Had no idea what it was about but I needed an alt to infiltrate on a factions server, so I bought one for 5 bucks (unmigrated). I still use it to this day. I had no idea about all of this.
Same I bought 5 of them years ago for cheap and they all still work

Its really sad that some people got banned from their favorite server because some loser living in their mom's basement hacked on their account.
if your account gets cracked, 99% of the time it’s your fault for having shit security
@@Hackermanlmao what if it was someone else's fault? (like a data leak from a server)
@@M0D776 that is possible, but if it's from a different website, and you get credential stuffed, it's your fault because you should use different passwords for each site.
3 cents per alt? what a steal! wait, ive already been banned on my own server? and now i am ip banned from my own server ?
I had my Minecraft account stolen recently after the email it was on got compromised. Maybe it was sold like this before I got it back.
Who knows
There are many ways acc store owners get acces to accounts, one increasingly popular method involves joining a discord server and "verifying" your mc email adress. They create a bunch of discord alt accounts so that the server seems more lively and therfore trustworthy. Most of the time if someone asks you to vc it's an attempt yo steal your account, so the best things you can do is to not give out any information or stall the person to waist their time. People who offer free cosmetics or rank upgrades most of the time are also scammers. Please dont fall for those people and stay safe.
I known people that worked on alt shops and would try to get me on board their shady operation. So, I just want to thank you for spreading more information about these "businesses" to hopefully nobody stumbles upon them and trusts them.
:)
?
I got a sponsorship offer from one of these alt shops. Ever since I hit 10k these shady sites want sponsorships...
To everyone who are buying from this type of site :
Just frickin buy original game bruh
Yeah but its cheaper.personally i have a legit account but people who do not want to spend 20$ do it and often get scammed.
?
I'm so glad that I still have my account. I tried to play on alts and had to install a authenticator software and when I tried to play mc a few weeks later I couldn't log in, I tried so many things to be able to log in but I couldn't find out why I couldn't log in but then I came across a post mentioning alt authenticator software.

My friend decided to log onto minecraft after a few months yesterday. But when he logged on, he saw his name and skin was changed. Looking at his name history, it was changed in february. Knowing about these websites, I inmediately told him to change his password. It's scary this can happen to anyone.
It is scary
I actually have been involved in this kind of market before. You know Minecraft account giveaways? Not giving away codes, but emails and passwords. After watching a few ads and joining a Discord server you get access to a Pastebin link littered with MC account details, up to around 500 separate emails and passwords.
Almost all of the time these wouldn't work as others have claimed them. But one time I was able to snag an email (using the email I could reset the account's password linked to it) and I was ecstatic.
I owned the account for 30 days. It was named _urstepmom at the time, and I renamed it to my IGN (DaveBxb). It had a Realm attached to it so I invited all my friends who had MC to play with me.
30 days after first logging into the account, I lost access to it. Couldn't access the email, couldn't access the account. I checked the account on NameMC, it was named back to _urstepmom. That's when it hit me; These aren't people who have quit MC and decided to giveaway their account, but these accounts were stolen. I had just used an illegal, stolen account for 30 days.
Since then I've bought my own account. My IGN is DaveBxb (or right now SirApSingh), but if you search up DaveBxb on NameMC you will find that account I stole.
Freaky stuff.
I hope your step mom is doing well lolol
I noticed this happened because someone changes my skin/username suddenly, changed password to something more secure and never had problems
sad to see people lose something they paid for because of some 30 yr old who cant live life normaly
So true
I mean to be fair, would you rather lose like 25 bucks or lose your credit card.
I don’t understand how a completely online company can be environmentally unfriendly, unless they just dump a shit ton of toxic waste in the ecosystem for fun
I thought "Redacted" was the name of the alt shop lol
Lol
the name has been redacted because the name contains information that will if known will make people realize oh wait shoot this is like terrible for the person who owns this account that will most likely get it back i'm not going to buy this
I had a several years break from Minecraft and when I wanted to play again, I couldn't log in nor reset my password as my email address wasn't associated with that account anymore. I knew it was stolen for sure when I saw the skin has been changed. I wonder if my account was sold like this too and if it got banned anywhere. Gosh how I wish this wasn't a reality, some people really are a cancer to this world...
@Oreo Thanks for the info. I actually managed to recover my account, I just didn't mention it. Still, I wonder if it was used by some cheater in the meantime. I am afraid that once I try joining any big server I'll find out I can't play there.
Makes you wonder how many mc accounts are just alts lol
It does, some of these websites claim to be obtaining around 50k alts a day
@@TheMisterEpic That's bull for sure.
@@theketaminekid1241 nope
Thanks for bringing awareness to the hypixel uhc community and the disgusting cheater problem
Great video as always, always good to make people aware of these practices.
:)
What used to be one of the most common ways for hackers to snatch accounts are servers with plugins where you have to "log in" to the server with a password to access your saved data or special items/kits bought through their website or such, where players pretty much ALWAYS use the same password as their Minecraft account, and register with their email or have their username be the same as their email address. So don't be stupid, use different passwords for everything and be careful where you put your personal information.
Ah interesting
Even though it is bad, and I'm not arguing about it. In some poor countries like Russia (which I am from), ppl are very used to buy these accouts because license worth so much. I myself used to buy these accounts not to cheat, but to play with my friend in local game.
These sites not to by justified but I just wanted to share the other side of the coin.
Wow. You were able to explain what alt shops are in 10 minutes, and i had no idea what they were. Now i know.
Haha awesome
@@TheMisterEpic and look at that the legend himself just responded
Alts shops seen in this video are. alts.rip, alts.shop, thealtening. UA-camrs Clips used (Without Permission) Glory, Hacking MC, Omikron or Leakedpvp (idk). Clients used Vanta, Vape, Sigma. Who cares if its illegal its not morally wrong, Its like smoking weed are you bad person if you do it? No.
fr
stealing accounts is definitely morally wrong. its harming lots of innocent people who just want to play mc and helping toxic cheaters and griefers. there's a difference between smoking a plant and stealing/fraud
U said it not quite true. So programs that guess passwords almost aren't a thing at all, they're really good only for targeting og names no more than that. And breaches from Minecrafts database happen comparably rarely most of these accounts are just people who used same password on breached websites as their Minecraft account.
This have always been sketchy but always reliable
Reliable to be scummy?
@@MuzikBike no reliable for being cheap lmao
The problem is that cheaters now are gonna closet cheat.
One of the more popular software used for cracking mc account was eggcrack and I think it also was able to crack other accounts along side minecraft like netflix
Really, that's interesting
Alts could also be used to get the full game for dirt cheap, which is just piracy with extra steps
It's not just piracy, you are literally stealing another person's account. If the value of MC accounts wasn't so low you could genuinely be prosecuted for buying them in the US.

how?
Why do people even burn money on alts fr, your just gonna get banned and buy more or the actual owner gets access back to the account.
Some people just enjoy hacking... to be fair to them if each account takes an hour or two to get banned and they cost pennies then it’s probably kinda worth it... not supporting the hackers but it kinda makes sense
yeah I love when I tell people these alt sites are illegal and it just blows there mind
This should all be fixed with mojans migration process
Hopefully yea
I think 2fa might be optional but it'll still definitely take a hit on the shops

Quite sad honestly that they do this bruteforce shit, it just encourages piracy even more
I have used an alt generator before, didn't know the account I was using was stolen.

If SQL Injection is still a viable way to breach your database, you kinda deserve it.
There's so many was to prevent it, from tools to precautions.
And the integration and security of SQL queries has been massively improved over the past few years.
Exactly
SQLi is still around lol
though often its significantly more complicated than putting a ' in a login field.
maybe some internal query being passed to some other internal query for a daily backup or something, and they didnt bother to escape there because "well nothing could get here anyway!" until it can.
So this is were '1000iq hacker' comes from
Something which people don't really know, is Alt shops do re-sell accounts for multiple reasons. For example a optifine caped account will be sold for it's cape, then as a NFA.
Ah
The dislikes are the people who bought alt accounts 😂🤣
