In recent days, news has spread about a possible hacker attack on Fortnite scheduled for July 6 that would delete all skins
Fortnite players can sleep peaceful dreams. The news spread in these days according to which the next July 6 a sort of digital apocalypse triggered by a hacker would cause the elimination of all the skins of the Battle Royale is false. It would be a fake news artfully invented by some YouTuber looking for views "easy" through the creation of videos related to this phantom event.
A story mounted to art and, frankly not credible, but if you take into account the average age of players of the famous online game you can see how it could make a breach among young gamers around the world. Even Epic Games, the software house that developed Fortnite, has intervened reassuring users: no hacker attack will endanger the skins purchased on the online store.
Fortnite: hackers attack
The news of the upcoming attack was reported by Fortnite Intel that has made known the name of the hacker, such Antisnow, ready to attack the game developed by Epic Games. The first YouTuber who took advantage of this story in terms of views was "Landon". In particular, in the first days in which he started playing Fortnite, his videos posted on his YouTube channel totaled from one million to five million views. Subsequently, following a drop in views the YouTuber has decided to give life to a fake news to reinvigorate the views and that's how on his channel was feared the "famous" hacker. At this point, however, a question arises: but if a hacker actually managed to infiltrate within the accounts of Fortnite to delete them would have advertised his action on YouTube?
Fortnite: the reassurances of Epic Games
But to reassure all players of the famous game we thought the Public Relations Representative of Epic Games, Nick Chester, who published a tweet where he said that during the day of July 6, players can play Fortnite quietly. No hacker risk in sight.
In conclusion, players and fans of Fortnite can rest assured, on July 6 accounts will not be hacked, but if you want to feel safer you can activate the two-factor authentication through which no one will be able to log in, even if the password was unfortunately stolen.
