Data Viper’s report reveals that cybercriminals have taken interest in one of the most popular online games in the world - “Fortnite”.


Cybercriminals use automated systems to analyze the databases from various leaks towards the possibility of breaking into the “Fortnite” player’s account. Cybercriminals are able to analyze 500 accounts in one second.
The game makes its money on microtransactions for trading virtual items. Criminals are able to earn up to PLN 150,000 a week by trading stolen e-items.


It is very difficult to detect the perpetrators of thefts, as they create a network of fake connections and transactions are carried out using cryptocurrencies.
