How Hackers Trick Game Companies Into Losing Billions

- By 2025, global cybercrime is estimated to hit $10 trillion annually, a figure that places the gaming industry directly in the crosshairs. I've always wondered why even the largest gaming companies struggle to defend against hacker attacks. The reasons, as I've found, range from complex to surprisingly simple. In my journey through the world of cybercrime, I discovered that if it were a country, cybercrime would rank as the world's third-largest economy, surpassing global military spending fourfold. The gaming sector is particularly vulnerable, with notable attacks on industry giants like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, and Sony. Despite some claims being hoaxes, the underlying motive remains universally clear: money.
This video explains the impact cybercrime really has on the gaming industry and the multifaceted reasons behind the ongoing battle between game developers and hackers.

Congratulations on that monopoly video that blew up. Your channel deserve more attention
These videos are my top source of education on the games industry now!
Your channel is the hidden gem of youtube, you are underrated as hell and quality of your videos is insane.
Literally the most underrated single video on youtube. How is this even possible. Amazing quality with *UNDER 1K VIEWS‽‽‽ *
great vid, hope your channel gets more traction :))
Regularly changing passwords isn't that helpful. It's far more important to make sure that all your passwords are completely unique.
then i am an utter failure with this haha
I was just about to write s comment on that, thanks for being quicker with that and warning people.
Password protection and security is a combination of uniqueness and consistent change.
But as said at the end of the video, both fail at the human element. We aren't computers and we like easy/simple to remember passwords, plus we don't want to constantly change them because then we have to think of something new.
I am amazed by this channels graphics and editing talent. The story telling compelling makes you want to stay till the end with is rare now a day. love it all
The reason why gaming companies are not investing into security enough is because they are not really loosing 10.5 trillion a year. If they could tap into 10% of those 10 trillions, the games, their source code and user data would be bullet proof.
Fantastic Video! I know your channel will take off. one of my favorites
Thank you :)
Another banger vid! I always learn something from your videos.
the scale of cyber attacks is crazy! oof!
Great videos, I hope you get more attention and keep making such high quality content
Glad I found your channel. Looking forward to the many others, not sure why you didn't pop into my YT feed a while ago. Great video!
I binged all your videos the quality and Contant of gaming journalism you have successfully broke the code😊🎉
Again this is very well made and very informative.
Great channel you’ve got going! The monopoly video blew my mind. I figured you’d been making videos for years, was shocked to see you’re just starting out! Liked, subbed etc. Can’t wait for more!
Great content. This video is important. 😊
This channel deserves more subscribers.
Wft someone hacked a children hospital. How annoying can someone be. Like for real it can not be that hard to safeguard children data. How careless of the hospital.
Extremely informative, well spoken, and well made video. Had me laughing and shocked at many points! I'm shocked there's only 20k people subbed to you! You do coffeezille levels if editing and information gathering!
you and your team make a great content keep it up 👏💯
And they call Nintendo greedy seems all that was projection.
Hi! Thank you so much for providing closed-captioning (CC), I tend to watch TH-cam on mute. I had to switch over to auto-CC since I noticed that the News segments didn't provide any, could you provide CC for these segments in the future?
Thanks again and keep up the quality work, these videos are good 👍
Ohh good point. Thanks for flagging this - will do :)
After watching Monopoly Go video it's hard to feel sorry for corporations using the most vile tactics to pray on children and vulnerable people.
Note to anyone setting up MFA:
Actually write down your backup codes somewhere! If you lose your 2FA device, or its stolen, or the battery is shot on it, you'll really want those backup codes to get back into your accounts.
wow 1 guy in Alaska be hacking
Great work. I Just discovered your channel and watched most of your videos. Why not reupload your videos that didn't do very well since your channel is now growing?
I am the tinfoil hat person at work who directly voice calls the head of IT whenever I get a Teams message or email from his staff 😂
I'm sure I was the odd one out being too suspicious... and then my company was attacked last year 🙃
Oh wow! No way! A bit of tinfoil hat doesn’t harm :)
Thanks TH-cam for recommending the Monopoly Video, this is such an underrated channel
The best digital security? The highest protected asset? More protection than confidential government military files?
My Little Pony...
Keep it up.
This is literally better content than the 2M+ channels… I think you did catch the Algorithm’s attention, I found the channel from the latest adult video games video.
Thank you algorithm for bringing me hetr after the Monopoly Go video
these game companies use skunk works inside their own departments to "hack" themselves. a lot of corporate hacking is just selling customer data legally
Renew my password? Why, if my password is 64 random characters long and I don't use the same password for any worship services, why would I need to change my password?
Because maybe it got leaked in an data breach
Very annoying and scary stuff
where does your interest in gaming and these topics come from?
Nice question :)
My dad let me play DOS games on Windows 3.11 when I was just 4 years old. Ever since then, I loved games, computers and software. The rest is just being naturally curious about everything the universe has to offer.
And how about you?
Why don't you have millions of subscribers?
I like money, can someone show me how to do this, thanks.
Asmongold brought me here. New sub before you reach 100k
Criminally Underrated
nothing connected to the internet is safe. get over it. Me and mine will never feel bad about taking someone from and entity that is not a person that makes 800 million a year.
great video!
10 trillion is close to the GDP of the united states. I think you need to check your numbers.
disappointing amout of views for such a great channel so much very important information just dumped by the algorithm. I really hope it finally caughts up
You talk very weird
Underrated. The production quality of these videos is high, the topic interesting, and the content strong. More views are on the way 🫡 as I was served your channel algorithmically with the monopoly video and subbed!
ha, thank you for your support 🫡
