Crooks Sold ‘Photof*ckit’ Tool that Hacked Photobucket Users

Men allegedly broke into picture and video-hosting site Photobucket and sold access to password-protected accounts using software that defiles the “Photobucket” name.

The application circumvented security settings to break into user names, passwords and protected albums, an indictment states.

For two years, Brandon Bourret, 39, from Colorado Springs, and Athanasios Andrianakis, 26, from Sunnyvale, Calif., allegedly sold the Photobucket passwords and account access.

The Register reports that authorities said, “The conspirators used Photofucket to obtain guest passwords to access users’ password protected albums. They also transferred, or caused to be transferred, guest passwords to others who paid to use the Photofucket application.”
