Your Kid’s Gaming Account Is a Target — Here’s How to Lock It Down
Gaming accounts — Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft, PlayStation, Xbox — are being targeted by hackers more than ever. Why? Because kids rarely have two-factor authentication turned on.
Does this affect my family? A hacked gaming account can expose your payment info, your child’s personal details, and even be used to scam their friends. It happens to thousands of families every week.
What to do right now:
- Turn on two-factor authentication on every gaming account your child uses
- Make sure the account email is one you control, not your kid’s personal email
- Remove saved credit cards from gaming platforms
- Set spending limits or require parental approval for purchases
- Talk to your kid about never sharing their password — even with friends
Fifteen minutes of setup prevents a major headache.
