Status: Scrape
Executive Summary
In April 2024, roughly 6 million MovieBoxPro records were scraped from a vulnerable API through mass enumeration. The exposed data was limited to usernames and email addresses. Systems were not necessarily breached; the data was collected by abusing an exposed API endpoint.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure enables account takeover, phishing, and profiling based on entertainment behavior. Platform affiliation may also create legal or reputational sensitivity where licensing status is disputed.
Breach Impact
The username/email pairs primarily enable spam and phishing targeting and confirm use of a piracy-adjacent service, which can carry reputational or targeting implications for affected users.

Why They Hold Your Data
Streaming apps collect user accounts, emails, subscription records, device-linked data, and viewing activity tied to entertainment access workflows.
Recent Developments
After the data was mass-enumerated, the underlying API weakness was reportedly corrected. The service provides no clear channel for breach disclosure.
