by Anderson Hanchett in CyberSecurity, gaming, hobbies, Information Security, InfoSec
Playing video games is a fun way to connect and interact with others online. However, the hobby does come with some security risks. Keep these tips in mind to keep your information safe.

1. Make sure the software you download comes from a reputable source. For example, a trusted storefront.
2. Use strong, unique passwords on all your accounts: If a threat actor gets control over one of your accounts, having unique passwords prevents them from getting into all your other accounts. Using a password manager makes the task of remembering all those unique passwords much simpler.
3. Enable Multi-factor Authentication if possible: This provides an additional layer of account security to ensure your information does not fall into the wrong hands.
4. Be wary of suspicious messages delivered to you over chat services. Never provide your account details to anyone.
