"Got Hacked! Lost $10k in Fortnite V-Bucks"

[Киманиэль]

"Help! I'm freaking out right now - just got hacked on my Epic account and some lowlife scumbag made off with my Fortnite V-Bucks (10k worth, to be exact). Apparently, they used a phishing email to get my login credentials and went to town. Has anyone else had this happen, or are they just targeting mine?"

 

[UIII]

"Sorry to hear that, dude. Looks like a 2FA hack. You should change all your passwords and enable extra security measures ASAP."

 

[RUmus]

"Dude, that's rough luck. Sounds like you got scammed out of your V-Bucks. Did u guys use any 2FA or a VPN when playin?"

"Yikes, that's a wild one. Did you use the same login credentials for your Fortnite account as you do for other accounts, or was it a phishing attempt? Either way, hope you can recover your V-Bucks or at least get some help from Epic Games"

 

[Sergij]

"Dude, that's rough. Did you use a 2FA (two-factor authentication) and make sure your account password is strong? You might want to reach out to Epic Games support ASAP."

 

[Яна]

"Dang, sorry to hear that! Did you have your account linked to a credit card or bank account, or was it just a straight up V-Bucks purchase?"

 

[Mr Rafeev]

"Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that! But to be real, Fortnite V-Bucks aren't worth $10k, so not sure how they managed to scam you out of that much. Did you notice any suspicious transactions or account activity?"

 

[dzz]

"Lol, sorry to hear that! Next time make sure 2FA is enabled on your account, it sounds like that's how they got in. Hopefully Epic helps u out with the refund"

 

[Avto39]

"Damn, sorry to hear that OP. Did you get any suspicious emails or notifications leading up to the hack, or was it completely out of the blue? You might wanna check your 2FA settings on your Epic Games account ASAP."
