Don't let your children fall victim to gaming fraud

It’s often a relief to shut the door to your child’s room as you let them game online so you can have some peace and quiet. But, while you think they are engaging in some innocent gaming and online banter, they could be falling prey to fraudsters.

It’s not uncommon for parents to give children access to their bank account details to buy accessories for their avatars, boost their in-game currency or buy passes. But this is where these personal financial details become vulnerable to account takeovers, payment card fraud, denial of service and local cyberattacks.An account takeover occurs when someone acquires unauthorised access to an existing account.

Perpetrators threaten other players in the game by ‘IP booting’, which involves creating a ‘traffic jam’ of data that prevents proper network connections from being established. To gain kids’ trust, scammers may even initially buy children free virtual gifts or tell them about special edition or limited time offers.Children accept requests to play and compete with strangers because they think that these strangers are the same age and are there to play. The cases we have been exposed to are where children have befriended and accepted friend requests on platforms, which have resulted in bullying, hacking and fraud.

Erling Haaland is the real deal | CitypressErling Haaland is the real deal: With goals seemingly coming so easily, he is being compared to Messi and Ronaldo. But, as his stats show, he has already surpassed what they had achieved by the time they were his age your stats about Ronaldo are extremely incorrect. Use TMuk_news for stats please. CR7 scored 5 competitive goals for Sporting at 17, in 31 apps. 6 in 40 for Man United at 18. He also played at Euro 2004 playing all 6 games with Portugal. TimSpiritMolobi Compare him to Mbape, not these two super stars of the game. He may not even achieve the heights they have reached. Respect us, please! Didn't they do this when neymar came along, then when mbappe came along
