"Just got a report from a friend whose Fortnite account got hacked 6 months ago, and now it's being used to run a fake giveaway scam on Discord, trying to get people to send crypto to some shady wallet. I've seen this happening way too many times - what's going on with Epic's security? Is it really that easy for scammers to get their hands on these accounts?"

"Crazy how some people can be so blatant with their scams. I've seen it happen before where a hacker takes over an account and uses it to send out fake 'giving away free V-Bucks' schemes, just to get people's crypto addresses. Need to keep an eye on our own accounts and not fall for these trap."

"Dude, this isn't surprise news at all. I mean, scammers will use whatever exploits they can find, and Fortnite's userbase lends itself to being an easy target. We should be more careful with our personal info, not just our account passwords."

"Lowkey not surprised, these scammers are always adapting. They know plenty of gamers don't bother changing their passwords, so it's an easy target for them. Hopefully Epic Games gets on top of it soon."

"Dude, this is straight out of a movie. Who's surprised that some sickos are exploiting hacked Fortnite accounts for crypto scams? We need better security measures in place to prevent this from happening in the first place."
