The latest iteration of FIFA brought to you by EA Sports, FIFA 23 became one of the most interesting video games for cyber criminals, who have spread cyber scams by buying FUT coins on fake sites.

Currently, the video game market moves large amounts of money. According to data from Statista, the size of the world market reaches close to 200,000 million dollars per year.

Due to the large amount of money generated by this online gaming business, cybercriminals perpetrated crimes against multinationals in this sector. To do this, they have used confidential information from the brands, in order to filter advances of products that have not yet been launched.

One of the last known assaults was that of the Rockstar Games company, when the attackers leaked more than 90 videos of a version in development of the video game Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA6). Years before, he had already suffered another similar attack with the game Red Dead Redemption 2.

On the other hand, due to the virtual currency movements generated by video games, these cybercriminal groups also took advantage of the opportunity to make transactions in recently launched titles profitable.

EA Sports with FIFA 23, which in subsequent iterations will acquire the EA Sport FC nomenclature, is a good example of this. In September, the month in which this product was launched, the company received an alert that they could have been victims of a cyberattack and the theft of information from their new bet.

In this regard, Panda Security’s Global Consumer Operations Manager, Hervé Lambert, acknowledges that cybercriminals “focus their efforts on attacking from individuals to large companies” and that “they have highly developed mechanisms for knowing how to infiltrate the networks of large corporations without any effort.

Electronic Arts (EA) spoke about the good results that the FIFA 22 video game has produced since its launch on September 26, also highlighting the possibility of a name change in the future.

FIFA 22 hit the market on September 26, and since then 9.1 million players have joined the game, 7.6 million Ultimate Team squads have been created and 460 million games played, as indicated the company in a statement.

EA, however, is already looking to the future of the franchise, which is sustained by the ecosystem of signed agreements and licenses, and which allows it to offer “unrivaled authenticity” in all EA SPORTS football games.

Currently, they indicate, it is the only soccer franchise that brings together the main leagues in the world: UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, Premier League, Bundesliga and LaLiga Santander, among others.

But the company said EA SPORTS football, which is primarily identified as FIFA, could change its name. “We are exploring the idea of ​​renaming our global games EA SPORTS soccer. This means that we are reviewing our naming rights agreements with FIFA, which is separate from all of our other official agreements and licenses in the world of soccer.”

Electronic Arts (EA) announced that it is investigating whether internal workers have profited privately from the FIFA 21 Ultimate Team mode and its loot boxes, whereby users can upgrade their teams by acquiring player cards.

FIFA 21 Ultimate Team is in the crosshairs of the gambling regulatory authorities, and now also of EA itself after the scandal known as ‘EAGate’, by which users of the sports simulation title denounce that workers of the developer sell the cards privately.

The Ultimate Team mode offers FIFA players the opportunity to create and upgrade their team of footballers by acquiring cards for real money. Players who appear on the cards using a random system and those who perform better are less likely to appear.

Already last year the Netherlands Gaming Authority denounced “the fact that footballers sometimes have a high value and that sometimes they can be traded”. This body filed an administrative order subject to a penalty of up to 5 million euros to EA for the loot boxes.

Complaints against EA Sports FIFA employees selling rare cards and custom packs have proliferated on social media. On Twitter, supposed conversations have been shared with an employee, who offers packs of players for prices ranging between 750 and a thousand euros.
