Something very unpleasant happened yesterday. 2K Games, as third parties managed to hack their official email accounts and send malware links to many users. After that, they released an urgent statement about the scam warning fans not to fall into malicious links.
In his statement, 2K Warns players not to click on any links from support emails and advises what to do if you’ve already done so. These range from resetting passwords to running antivirus software, although these are not all the warnings offered by the company

Here are some key caveats:
– Reset passwords for any user accounts saved in your web browser (for example, Chrome AutoFill)
– Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever it’s available, especially on personal email, banking and phone or internet provider accounts. If possible, avoid using MFA that relies on text message verification; The most secure method would be to use an authenticator app.
– Install and run a reliable antivirus program.
– Check your account settings to see if any forwarding rules have been added or changed. Your personal email account.
As of now, the culprits behind the incident are yet to be identified.
