Videogames are oddly the most secure of all.

I don't know why (maybe criminals are more likely to go for your WoW account assuming the legal consequences are less) but I would advise all companies to examine how Blizzard, Valve, and others handle account security.

I work for Twitch and previously worked in AAA games. People are often surprised, even coming from Amazon or Banking, how much Gamers try to 'hack' thinks. Gamers are used to trying to find edges in the system.
