Disney Plus Streaming service has gone live with airing all the famous Disney movies such as Star Wars and Snow White as well as exclusive Disney TV series such as The Mandalorian. However, just within a few weeks of the launch of Disney Plus, there were reports of accounts being hacked and sold in areas where the streaming service was not available.
