My partner's Hulu account was hacked and was charged inordinate amounts of money.

Time to spend countless hours on the phone with banks disputing charges. Wish us luck

@drzaiusx11 oh geeze, i hate it when that kind of thing happens

good luck, tbh!

@scarly sadly Hulu doesn't support 2fa afaik so not much we can do to protect ourselves. It just sucks.

This case seems to be a social engineering hack via support request chat to change our verified email. They then used the verified email to change our credentials and add "add-ons" to our account totalling over 100usd/mo for several months.

@scarly the other possible vector would be hacking their email and then removing the password change confirmations.

We'll likely never know for sure, but time to change all the passwords just in case.

Sigh.
