We’ve known for some time that Uncharted creator Amy Hennig was working on a Marvel project at her recently-founded Skydance New Media studio, and in fact, she teased a World-War-II-set game featuring Captain American and Black Panther back in 2022. Well, today at Epic’s State of Unreal Engine 2024 GDC livestream, the curtain was fully pulled back the game, which is officially title Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
You Should Protect Your Gaming Accounts like a Bank Account, Here's How
01.03.2024 - 17:18 / howtogeek.com
It's gut-wrenching to learn that someone has accessed one of your gaming accounts. Unfortunately, this is all too common. My accounts have been compromised several times, which is what inspired me to better safeguard my gaming accounts.
Never Share Your Account Details
One of the simplest ways a hacker can steal your account is by convincing you to share the login information willingly, for instance, in the form of a phishing attack. Bad actors use different forms of phishing attacks to trick you into submitting your account details. The most common are in-game or social media chat messages and phishing emails.
If you've ever played World of Warcraft, you might have seen a loading screen tip that says, "A Blizzard employee will NEVER ask for your password." Well, the tip holds true for all games and companies. Video game admins and support staff don't need your password to resolve an issue, so they'll never ask you for direct access. If somebody poses as a company employee and asks for your password, that's a red flag.
My recommendation is not to share your account with anyone, lest you risk losing it. Many of us have shared our gaming accounts with friends and family at one point, but this can easily turn into a security breach if your credentials aren't adequately protected. Even if the person you're sharing an account with doesn't have any nefarious intent, there's no guarantee that somebody won't compromise them and get access to your account that way.
Never Re-Use Passwords, Try To Use Unique Emails and Usernames
Having one account compromised sucks, but having twenty of them stolen is worse. This happens when you use the same username, password, and email across your accounts. While maintaining separate emails for all of your gaming accounts isn't practical, having different usernames and passwords is easy enough.
I admit that I've used the same username and password for gaming accounts a long time ago. Guess what? A modding site I frequented got hacked, and my credentials were leaked. Even big companies aren't immune to data breaches, and though passwords are normally encrypted it's still prudent to have as little of your details leaked as possible (including usernames and email addresses).
You can check whether your email has been leaked with haveibeenpwned.com. If you use a Google account to store all of your passwords, the Password Checkup tool can notify you of password leaks. Apple's password manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac will also notify you of any passwords you should change, as will many third-party password managers. I never bothered changing my reused password for the gaming accounts I no longer use, so this is what my Password Checkup looks like:
