To think that for once this wasn't even done by phishing the original owners but a third party (Paypal support) is even more fascinating. It's a weak spot few games have. Maybe allowing resetting an account by knowing the transaction ID is not such a good design, but then again, I can see how Mojang probably didn't think many people would go as far as exploiting Paypal just to hack a Minecraft account, so the system probably did more good than harm by giving people access to their accounts when they genuinely forgot their passwords. Anyway, really interesting case.

The issue is the crime is rarely pursued and even more rarely does it actually result in serious criminal sanctions. Harsher criminal penalties and less apathetic law enforcement when it comes to cyber crime would help.

Surely though if the original owner provided there license, birth certificate ect it would be undeniable proof that they are the original owner and should rightfully gain access to the account again. Surprised no one has sued the thieves for stealing so many accounts.
