  • @Koochi-QYep, but I'm not that worried, as a regular user. The effort needs to be worth it, so hackers would mostly target streamers, content creators, devs, companies with these advanced cracks.

    Anyway, hackers have a much easier method to get to the players: through cheats and game trackers. The cheats dig deep into the user's operating system, because they need to bamboozle the anti cheat anyway, so it's a good opportunity to insert some spyware. Trackers can record players' IP's, emails, etc. for later DDoS-ing "database".

    @DoYaSeeMe No idea who did solution again... but I wanted to direct this thread to you and E9 but for whatever reason I couldn’t mention E9 >.<

    There’s always other ways for hackers and other nefarious types to gain access and yup, it’s what I tell cyber-scared and unknowers that they should not worry as such ppl don’t go after the common man as they don’t gain anything from it.
