The Hidden Danger in Your Gaming PC: PH ranks #2 in APAC for compromised gaming accounts— Kaspersky reveals

Kaspersky’s latest research reveals a shocking 11 million gaming account credentials leaked in 2024 — including 5.7M Steam accounts compromised by infostealer malware. APAC gamers were hit hard, with the Philippines ranking second highest at 93,000 stolen login-password pairs.

The threat doesn’t stop at the gaming world — corporate security is at risk too, as some leaked accounts were registered with work emails, opening the door for targeted attacks. With APAC’s gaming community now nearing 1.8 billion players, cybercriminals have more opportunities than ever to exploit this thriving scene.

Learn how these leaks happen, why they’re dangerous even years later, and how both gamers and businesses can defend against infostealers.
