Cybersecurity for gamers

If video games are your thing, chances are that the Internet is your everyday place, whether it's social media, watching League of Legends (LOL) games on Twitch, or downloading your favorite mods.

Don’t use the same password

One of the most common mistakes is to use the same password for everything, which is the wrong way to go. You should have as many passwords as there are champions in League of Legends... now seriously, you should have a different password for each one of your accounts, and the longer the password, the better. So use a passphrase that is easy to remember, and harder to crack.

Bonus tip: If it helps, a password manager can make your life easier, because you only need to remember one password.

Use Multiple Factor Authentication (MFA)

Much like playing LoL, you need to have an extra layer of protection online. MFA works like a padlock with several keys: On the one hand, you have a password, but you also need a verification code that is sent to you by SMS or email, your fingerprint or even your face. This makes your accounts much more secure, giving you peace of mind. Use this option whenever it is possible, and you’ll see that many of the platforms you use on a daily basis include this function.

Be discreet online

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to share your passion for video games. But be cautious and pay close attention to what you post online as well as comments you make during games. You can also configure the security and privacy settings of your platforms, to limit access to unknown people. This helps prevent others from using your information for malicious purposes.

Update your operating system

If you don’t update your video game from time to time, it ends up being boring and monotonous. And besides, not all games are perfect when they come out, they often have bugs. The same happens with the operating systems on our devices. Every time you update them, you get new features, improvements and security patches that will protect your computer and your information. We recommend updating your operating system to continue enjoying League of Legends and get out of bounce.
