Fortnite and its lack of Security.

So as I was thinking of today's topic i decided to hop onto my emails to make sure i'm not missing something important.

I open the one tab of gmail's browser based email system and an email from Epic appears, the developers of the famous Fortnite.

Unfortunately I saw a email that was titled to a fellow called Lot.

Who that is , is still a mystery to me.

So I tried to log into my account and behold , I cannot as my password was changed.

This Lot guy had changed the in-game name to his name and surname and also put his telephone number in for some reason. The guy stays in Monaco as per his telephone code.

Needless to say two-factor authentication is now active. Epic games even made a statement saying that people are being hacked and fraudulent purchases are being made.

Tip of the day is if you or a family member is playing Fortnite please enable two-factor authentication as any credit cards linked can become a nightmare.
