Between Steam, GOG, Origin, Uplay, Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus, Battle.net, and any free-to-play games a person may play, it&#8217;s easy to rack up a handful of logins and passwords. Heck, just about everyone has a Gmail login that ties into any number of other services. Periodically, one of these companies will experience a breach of security and everyone that uses the service will need to go through the rigmarole of changing their login information. It&#8217;s annoying, but there&#8217;s little to do beyond sigh and get on with it.<\/p>\n<p>So what happens when a flaw is found that compromises a good portion of the internet? Get ready to spend a lot of time changing passwords. Meet <a href=\"http:\/\/heartbleed.com\/\">Heartbleed<\/a>. It&#8217;s a seriously terrible encryption vulnerability that potentially allows hackers to access a long list of supposedly secure websites. (This <a href=\"http:\/\/xkcd.com\/1354\/\">XKCD comic<\/a> explains the issue better than anything I could summarize.) Everything from banking to social networks could be at risk. More importantly for gamers, many game services are vulnerable to Heartbleed. My achievements! My in-game gold! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/gaming\/heartbleed-bug-gaming-services-affected\/\">This list<\/a> has the Heartbleed security status of many gaming services.<\/p>\n<p>You could throw your hands up and resign yourself to an evening of drudgery, or you could have fun with it. Make a game out of changing passwords! That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing. Assign a point value to the vulnerability and add them up. 10 points for a game service like Steam or Origin. 5 points for a financial site. 3 points for a social network. Subtract a point for every free-to-play game. How many passwords do you have to change? Compare your Heartbleed score with your friends. My score is 27!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security is an issue in gaming.
