- Account hacking: Weak security can lead to stolen gaming accounts.
- Cyberbullying: Players may experience harassment, threats, or pressure.

Example: A young gamer was scammed out of their game account by a stranger offering “free” game credits.

- Avoid clicking on links promising free in-game currency or rewards.
