richlind33: Anyone using weak passwords *deseves* to be disowned. Use strong, *random* passwords with no repeats, keep them in a .txt file, copy and paste as needed.

Lord_Kane: I bet it was was just 12345678, I know family members that still use that password for everything.
Ok, but did you disown them? You really should, you shouldn't have family members like that. Only secure family members allowed.

toxicTom: I don't really see why that should be. Cyberpunk will be DRM-free and anyone wanting it but not wanting to pay will be able to download it from the usual suspects day 1 (cheapskates and freeloaders...).

Of course it would be cool if the pirates, who always claim "honour" and "against DRM" would as one refuse to upload Cyberpunk, torrent platforms would remove any torrent containing it... but even I am not that optimistic...
Note scammers want legit copies that they can sell on shady cdkey shops for actual money

Same problem happened with the Witcher 3. GOG had to disable all gifting of it due to massive amounts of credit card fraud.

The point is, scammers want to make money. GOG accounts right now have no useful way to make money for scamemrs (since no one cares about Thronebreaker or Gwent to any appreciable degree). But once Cyberpunk 2077 gets a release date, then people want to buy it. And a lot of people dont want to pay full price. Then gog accounts suddenly become juicy targets as any account that has gog wallet or a linked payment method can be used to sell a giftable copy of the game.

satoru: Enable 2 factor on GOG NOW.

Darvond: More to the point, ask GOG to move their 2 Factor onto a OTP platform like any typical authentication software.
Given how long it took GOG just to even get this rather basic ultra-vanilla email OTP, I'm not exactly holding my breath on them getting an external token OTP system setup anytime before the Witcher 5

Ok that makes sense. Then the target would be users who have a linked payment method and don't check their accounts too often (otherwise new gift code purchases in the order history would become obvious pretty quickly).

Better still, use a password "manager". A free one that comes bundled with useful progs that optimize your life in a gazillion different ways. ;p

Yeah, I've already said that like that. ;-)

Cloud enabled, so you have your passwords anywhere. Never mind they are stored plain text in an unsecured AWS machine...

Don't use portable devices, so no need for cloud storage. Computer is strictly for pleasure, so no need for encryption. Only have one bank card and as long as I exercise due diligence, I'm not on the hook for fraudulent activity.

Simplicity is the very best form of convenience. ;p

On Steam you can more easily target 'useful' people by offering "FREE TF2/CSGO/DOTA ITEMS AND GAMBLING" to get users more likely to have 'juicy' things you want. Aka your victims are self selecting to already have things you probably already want as a scammer.

On GOG there's no real good way to determine a 'good' target. Thus scammers are likely going to use large scale blanketed approaches such as using previous email/password attack spreadsheets to just spam the hell out of GOG users and just see which ones stick and just happen to have wallet or a saved payment method.

I predict large scale hijacking of GOG accounts once Cyperpunk 2077 gets a firm release date as scammers try to flood shady cd key shops with giftable copies of the game.

Got a source of him specifically saying it to reference? If so reference the video.

firstpastthepost: To be fair, he deplatformed himself. You can't expect to get to keep using a soapbox you don't own when you're using it to slander others.
When the bar is set so low... anyone can get banned

Though there's tons of slander against AJ. So....?

Also slander is very difficult to prove legally without ill intent, so unless he actually loses in court and the supreme court, i don't think you can get him for slander.

Unlike... oh i don't know...The Washington Post

That is unfortunate, a good saying is "Passwords are like underwear change them often and don't show others."
Also were your email and gog acc have the same passwords?
I would personally be more worried about my email, try your best to get that back.
