As reported today by Kotaku, it looks like Fortnite players are finding their accounts compromised with the account thieves racking up hundreds of dollars in purchases of cosmetic items, expansion passes, and V-Bucks. Epic has activated two-factor authentication that can be accessed through your account options page on the main website.
Epic has stated that the accounts are being hacked using “well known hacking techniques,” and has posted a security bulletin with tips on how to keep your account safe including using unique passwords, logging in via Facebook (which would keep your password safe in case of keyloggers), and not clicking on those attractive fake ads for free V-Bucks. If you are still afraid of your account being compromised, MMO Fallout recommends not keeping your credit card information saved in the system.
