With the news always full of stories about massive data breaches, whether they're genuinely huge or just a false alarm, it should come as a surprise to learn that the risk of cybercrime affecting gaming has never been greater than at any time before. With billions of PCs, consoles, and phones being used around the world for playing games, and over 200 billion cyberattacks a day, it would seem that no gamer is safe. Fortunately, that's not the case, and even though you shouldn't be completely unconcerned about it all, a lot is going on behind the scenes to combat the rise in cybercrime.
Recently, I sat down with Cloudflare's chief security officer, Grant Bourzikas, to talk about all things Internet and cybercrime, and what it all means for PC gaming. You've quite possibly heard of Cloudflare before, perhaps even seen the occasional webpage pop up stating that it's checking the security of your connection when trying to access a particular site.
