Hackers are breaking into unsuspecting victims’ Cash App accounts, a massively popular payment app, and stealing hundreds of dollars, according to victims Motherboard spoke to. In one person’s case, they said, Cash App has not reimbursed them for the stolen funds.
Cash App is one of the most popular payment services apps, with over 50 million downloads from the Google Play Store. Cash App also gained some infamy for large scale cash giveaways on social media. The app is owned by payment services company Block, which was formerly known as Square. Jack Dorsey runs the company.
Marvis Herring, another target, told Motherboard that hackers attempted to steal $1,400, in the form of two installments of $700. In those cases, Herring believes his bank blocked the fraudulent transactions.
Motherboard saw many other people reporting on social media that their Cash App accounts had been compromised in some way.
On fraud websites, dark web marketplaces, and social media, multiple people appear to be selling login details associated with Cash App accounts. Some of these peoples’ listings specify that the logs contain the email address and password for a linked email account. Some of the listings may be scams, but those on the dark web marketplaces come from fraudsters who have received positive feedback from alleged customers, according to the review system that is common on such sites. One listing for hacked Cash App accounts said the vendor has sold that specific item multiple times.
“Our Cashapp accounts are of the highest quality and we provide them at the most competitive prices on the market today,” one listing reads. “Full Information Presented Recently Compromised.”
The listing says that buyers get the hacked login credentials, the victim’s cookie file, and information such as what IP address the victim used. This sort of information can be useful to fraudsters to trick sites or apps into letting them log in as the user.
I have plenty of faith in them! Faith that with the right combination of undocumented op codes and data, I can get control over any system!
I spoke a woman in Evanston, IL about a decade ago.
She said it took most of a day to raise the $20 she needed.
One friend of my friend in DC got new coats with price tags still attached.
He gave all but one to fellow beggars.
College town
She need a better venue

Hackers probably created these Cash Apps ,LOL
I think my wife uses venmo for some things. She has a separate bank account for it and keeps $100 in the account and adds money when she needs to pay someone using venmo.
Do sites like Cash App get sued when this happens?
MY phone is a land line & a table model like your grandma had.
I saw that Stossel episode. He looked nasty. It was interesting.
Yep.
But the App works well.
However, there are competitors.
If only there were a competitor with a conservative-minded CEO.
Maybe there is. Wish I had the time to find out.
But I think not, because most of the consumer space is ultimately owned by BlackRock and Vanguard.

Pretty sure I have at least one bell systems dial phone somewhere.
And yes I have a box of real Tin Foil too.
Many don’t carry cash anymore.
They then sell them for drug money
Don’t laugh but not only do I have a landline phone but I also have a backup dial phone that has come in very handy during storms when the electric goes off or towers get hit.

If you abstain from making electronic transactions, you won’t get pregnant.
as far as I am concerned,if your cash app on your phone gets hacked, you deserve to lose every penny stolen and deserve NO reimbursement of any kind
Pikers, one of the beggars around here drives a Mercedes.
We have to keep one. There’s so many power outages around here cordless phones are a “no go”. We live at the end of the powerline, if we can’t call the power company and let them know there’s an outage we could be without power for weeks.

I played some games on my phone. Every minute or more, an ad would come up for “free money” with some Russian girl or guy.
Make $300 / day playing games. $500 free.
But MOSTLY Chinese or Americans seemingly working a Chinese ad (often Chinese in the ads).
EVERY SINGLE ONE wanted you to use Cash App or PayPal.
EVERY SINGLE ONE.
I never signed up.
The phone eventually crashed. I cannot get it to boot and I don’t want to reformat it.
Now I have at least 2 extra phones. Amazon gave me one for free; I reactivated it but it wouldn’t work right until I pulled the micro SD card.
