Interview Josep Albor- ESET

In this interview, ESET cybersecurity expert Josep Albors discusses the evolving landscape of digital threats within the video game industry. He explains how the shift toward online connectivity has expanded the attack surface, allowing criminals to use malicious game cracks, phishing links, and deceptive in-game chats to steal valuable account credentials or financial data. Beyond individual victims, Albors warns that gaming software can serve as a gateway into corporate networks through unpatched vulnerabilities or advanced "anti-cheat" tools that possess deep system access. The conversation highlights the rise of speculative virtual economies and the exploitation of vulnerable players, including minors and high-profile streamers. Ultimately, the expert emphasizes that while games are not inherently dangerous, users and guardians must maintain digital awareness and utilize security measures like two-factor authentication to mitigate risks.
