Greetings. I am willing to start playing some intensive, famous online game such as World of Warcraft is or Eve online. I just want to see how does that looks like, because I consider it is a new approach to the online chat and interaction with other users. Which is nothing else, but just more fun. But, as I always was skeptic about my privacy, I would like to know about all possible threats while I am connected to some online gaming server. Thanks in advance.

Hello. As for as I am known, so far, there were no complains at all, by any user. But, if you ask me, it is only a matter of time when the first threat will show up. Because, it is way too possible that someone else hacks your system when you are watching all those nice grass terrains, because you just cannot see your desktop, while throwing your favorite magic, right? I think that you should never turn off your firewall and antivirus software from the background, and you are somehow safe.
