e스포츠 온라인 토너먼트, 당신의 보안은 안녕하십니까?

by

Online esports tournaments offer a global stage for gamers to compete in skill. These real-time competitions are full of exhilarating excitement but being skilled alone is not enough for complete preparation. The increasing sophistication of online security threats, such as hacking, phishing, and account misuse cases, shows an alarming upward trend on a daily basis.

In fact, during the past 24 years of the Epic Legends Live Tournament, it has been reported that a user named Destroyer2009 hacked certain competitors in a match, manipulating the results unfairly. As one careless action can significantly impact the overall atmosphere or outcome of a game, it is recommended to check some basic rules before engaging in the competition.

강력한 비밀번호와 2단계 인증은 기본입니다

The first thing you should verify is your password. It’s best to use a combination of English uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, making up at least 12 characters. Avoid simple combinations such as ‘gamer1234’, personal information like birthdays or part of your nickname, and using the same password for multiple accounts. Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) significantly increases security. Although it’s a simple setup, it is one of the most effective ways to prevent hacking attempts. In particular, linking Google OTP or SMS verification to your tournament account is advisable.

불법 프로그램 사용은 내 컴퓨터를 해킹에 노출 시킵니다

In the context of a game, using unauthorized software is not just a simple rule violation. Many hacking tools contain malicious code that could infect your system upon execution. Some users have even experienced account and financial data theft. This is a concern not only for eSports but also for high-stakes transaction platforms like casinos online. Since online casinos involve the exchange of sensitive information and payments, using unverified platforms may lead to personal data breaches or financial losses. In fact, trustworthy online casinos offer SSL encryption, regular security audits, fairness checks based on random number generation (RNG), reliable game software, and are operated by licensed companies only.

하지만 이런 배팅 플랫폼 외에도 SNS, 이메일, 온라인 뱅킹 등 다양한 디지털 계정들은 서로 연결되어 있습니다. 따라서, 하나의 계정이 취약해질 경우에는 연쇄적으로 전체 보안이 괴로워질 수 있습니다. 민감한 정보와 상금이 교환되는 대회, 예를 들어 e스포츠 토너먼트와 같은 경우에는, 모든 참가자가 이러한 보안 원칙을 이해하고 실천하여 ‘나’의 보호를 위함이라도, 경기력과 팀의 전체 안전까지 갖추는 것과 같습니다.

소프트웨어와 백신, 업데이트는 귀찮지만 필수입니다

Maintaining the latest versions of your game client, operating system, browser, and antivirus software is crucial for security. Most security vulnerabilities are resolved through updates, and outdated versions can become easy targets for hackers. Delaying security patches increases the likelihood that malicious code will exploit known weaknesses. Enabling automatic updates and regularly conducting antivirus scans will create a safer environment. Using a reputable antivirus software with a valid license is important, as free antivirus may not offer sufficient protection.

피싱 링크와 의심스러운 메시지에 주의하세요

Phishing messages disguised as ‘event notices’ or ‘coupon receipts’ are currently in circulation. Be wary of strange URLs, sentences with many typos, messages that seem translated, and those asking for personal information. Recently, these scam messages have been sent via Discord or email, and there have been cases where clicking on them triggers malicious code. If anything seems unusual, it’s best to immediately verify the message from the event organizers or official channels. A single unchecked message can potentially compromise all your accounts.

음성 채팅 중 개인정보는 공유하지 마세요

In the game, communicating with teammates is crucial, but it’s absolutely important not to disclose sensitive information such as real names, addresses, or contact details. This is especially true in open channels where you never know who might be listening. There have been cases of hackers pretending to be team members to collect information on Discord servers. Given the anonymity of online environments, vigilance is necessary. Reducing unnecessary information exposure and reporting or blocking suspicious users promptly can help maintain a safe gaming environment. Ultimately, a secure play experience begins with each user’s awareness.
