    Question How "illegal" is it to sell cracked MC accounts?

    So I've selling cracked Minecraft accounts for about 4 months now, and just now something crossed my mind:
    What are the risks of selling cracked accounts? Especially now that Microsoft owns the whole thing.

    What are the consequences if I for some reason get targeted for cyber crime, or anything related to selling other peoples Minecraft credentials?
    Could it risk my future (Jobs, school, etc.)? And would I get a simple warning, or would it all blow up to a lawsuit or even getting arrested?

    Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm genuinely concerned. Or maybe I'm just overblowing this to the top and there's nothing to worry about.

    It's not illegal. I doubt Microsoft would care

    This is illegal... You're stealing someone else's accounts, which they paid for and gave no authorization for you to use, then selling it to someone else. That's like (over sizing the scenario) going to a bank, taking $1000 out of their vault, then selling the $1000 for $500 to some random guy on the street.

    Stealing others information is illegal, However. They won't look up for everyone who sells MC accounts but, breaking the SQ confirmation might be not allowed.

    If they had no security on the vault (like having a horrible password) it deserves to be taken. (imo)

    Though, the way I see it is finding a phone on a sidewalk, you shouldn't sell it but you won't get in trouble if you do.

    Some of you guys came with excellent examples and input, thanks

    By personal information, do you mean name, security questions, date of birth, etc?

    Well the thing is it should be "less" illegal to sell alts now since Microsoft fixed the security bypass which means you cant even change the password or look at the birthdate etc

    So it's not illegal unless u change the password or the email and if u give out their Full Name DOB transaction and besides they use random passwords to crack the account and it matches so it shouldn't be that illegal...
