Russian Hackers Stealing our Fortnite Accounts!

Can you imagine grinding for all this cool loot, only to have it snagged away by those dastardly Russian hackers?

Its one thing to hack our democracy – no one gives a single damn about that. What’s democracy ever done for you? Nothing.

One thing we do care about, however, is our vidya.

If the Kremlin is starting to hack our video games, this completely changes things.

Russia has officially stepped over the line on this one – allegedly.

Kotaku:

Early last month, all at one time, 3,400,000 players were logged into Fortnite. A few weeks later, I noticed dozens of them complaining on Reddit, Epic Games’ forums and Twitter that they were receiving mysterious $99.99 and $149.99 charges on their accounts.

These charges are only “mysterious” if you’re an Alt-Right shill or a Russian twitter bot.

It’s perfectly obvious what’s going on here: Russian hacking.

Haven’t you been paying attention?

On online marketplaces, these break-ins have resulted in hundreds of cheap listings for Fortnite accounts and codes for Fortnite games. The $3-10 codes for Fortnite Save the World are a deep discount from Epic Games’ $40 price tag. For people who play Fortnite, this may be surprising because the game’s Save the World mode received pretty middling reviews. But as one source told me, “I play STW because I’m shit at BR [Battle Royale].” The accounts worth selling, a lot of the time, are full of rare skins for Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode and boastable win rates that will make the seller look pretty good to their friends.

Wow.

Having your account sold for 3$.

All those epic stats: gone.

That really hits you in the feels, doesn’t it?

You don’t touch a man’s vidya. You just don’t.

Content creator Adam Taylor was an avid PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds player who, earlier this year, took a bid on the Fortnite Battle Royale trend. It was free, he reasoned, and a lot of his buddies had already jumped on the bandwagon. On March 9th, Adam hooked his PayPal account up to his Epic Games account to purchase a $10 BattlePass for Fortnite Battle Royale, which earns him items and perks the more he plays the game.

Six days later, he woke up, logged into his e-mail and noticed notifications and receipts from Epic Games acknowledging two charges unfamiliar to him: a $99.99 upgrade and a $150 Limited Edition upgrade for Fortnite Save the World, which each come with codes for Fortnite’s Standard Edition for friends, along with other goodies. The descriptions were both in Russian. When he logged into his account, the upgrades were gone.

“It’s as if I was charged $250 for Russian gibberish and no bonus to my account,” Taylor said.

Naturally.

Why did Putin hack these people’s accounts? What incentive does he have?

Does this madman just want to see the world burn?

This is actually a tough question. In fact, it’s not unreasonable to suspect a false flag here. We must always ask “who benefits?”

The Jews have seen that no one gives a damn about Russians hacking our elections, so they needed a new op that’d hit us where it hurts: right in the Fortnite.

So while I have no evidence either way, I’m gonna go ahead and blame the Jews for this.
