I assume Ultra is going to come along and delete this and warn me, but hey... I would definitely give it a watch. CG don't seem to care that our accounts can be hacked into and deleted.
Maybe don't spam and Ultra won't close your threads. Also maybe don't use weak facebook accounts to get into GOH and then you won't get your game deleted.
Then maybe CG shouldn't have the option to use a FB if it is weak and they know it can be hacked. Or they could make it more secure. Just a thought.
Then maybe the user should have enabled 2FA in Facebook to prevent it from being hacked in the first place. Just a thought.
Sure it's always the user's fault and everyone is supposed to be an expert and not in the hands of the actual company that provides a game to make it secure. Especially when they know about security problems.
You can't blame CG for a user that created a throwaway facebook account with an easy to guess password or reset questions. it's 2022, you don't need to be a security expert to know these things.
Ah yes, and you know for a fact that every account that got hacked was a throwaway with an easy to guess password. Sure.
As you said. It's 2022 and many people have FB accounts they use on a regular basis and you also know what strong passwords are.
The hacks that happen on FB have nothing to do with how good your PW is. They have their methods to crack even very strong passwords.
I know that this one was a throwaway by reading his reddit thread.
And if we know that facebook isn't secure, we probably shouldn't be using it to link to accounts we care about. None of this is on CG.
I know the fashionable thing to do here is trash CG (I partake often enough) but you can't blame everything that goes wrong on CG.
You see there is the difference. I don't look for someone to blame. I am not in Kindergarten.
I say it as I see it. As a provider of a game(or any other Service that may contain sensible data, for example Credit Card or banking details) it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of people's accounts and their sensitive data and make your game as secure as possible against hacking.
If there are known issues with certain things, it is on you to fix them or not to use these things as to ensure your customer's safety. And not to expect customers to know about those issues, especially if you did not warn your customers about these known issues.
That's true in principle, but for most app developers, the best they can, should, and normally do, do, is to trust a well-known service, rather than trying to do it themselves. If you ask me to pick between FB's (or Google's or Apple's) sign-in service, and a similar service done in-house by CG, I'd pick FB, because they have more expertise and are more invested in doing a good job at security.
