SAN FRANCISCO, December 14, 2018 / PRNewswire-PRWeb / – Augmented reality games are known to collect their users' personal data to provide more accurate virtual environments, but this also creates an immense scope for a data breach. However, the blockchain gaming platform of Californiabased on HashCash Consultants has emerged as a viable remedy to this problem.
Potential dangers of sharing access to personal accounts
The most common way to land in this soup is to choose to access an & # 39; app through your user account common to different apps, which is what most of us do to avoid the extra step of setting up a separate account for a game and the hassle of remembering more passwords.
The vulnerability of user data came to the fore in 2016, when gaps were reported in the "terms and conditions" to participate in an extremely famous augmented reality game. The critics at the time focused on the authentication aspects of the game that, depending on the phone software, could give control of the game in your gallery and the contents of the SD card, or inadvertently give access without notice to the gaming company to a user's cloud accounts. Unauthorized use of a player's email becomes extremely simple by allowing the hacker to alter or delete his or her content. Access like that could also be used to send emails and get the right to be admitted to any other social media account on which the victim is active.
The problem becomes more acute when one considers that the games that actively incorporate the physical movements of a player also keep track of their geographical position, where they go and how much time they spend there, is widely played by children.
The other obvious danger lies in the possibility of a third party accessing your bank account details or social security details (which could be stored in an e-mail).
HashCash guarantees the security of personal data to players who use Blockchain
Cybercrime has become an extremely lucrative business generating a staggering $ 1.5 trillion in revenue each year, indicating that it is much less likely to be reduced with the simple implementation of the regulations. The best method to deal with this problem, which is also used by prudent gaming companies, is to merge their gaming platform with blockchain.
HashCash Consultants has partnered with one of the leading developers of Australian online games to transfer its infrastructure to HC NET. The blockchain company manages the creation of a native digital asset (or cryptocurrency) for the online video game that can be used to perform micro-transactions within the HC NET.
Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger that works on a consensus protocol and is immutable by its nature. The data stored in a blockchain is marked by a unique encryption that makes it almost impossible to hack. The HashCash blockchain gaming platform is reinforced by integrated security measures such as support for AES 256 and Md5 encryption, DDoS protection and malware, firewall and port management. IP tracking and control is enabled, implements BIP 32, Firebase and SegWit.
Final word
What ultimately can be accepted is that the proliferation of video games that require greater interaction of the real world with the virtual world has just begun to gain momentum, and in playing these games a player is invariably sharing the metadata. In all likelihood, the scope of this information is more than the user intended. While the best way to avoid getting stuck in the resulting quagmire is to get away from online games altogether, a more popular (and less extreme) remedy would be to play games backed by reliable technology.
