#EA has acquired a #license for the world-famous #Indygame #chess.

Changes were immediately announced for the game, which will now be released annually in new editions.
1) three new maps
2) Two new #game pawns, but only in the paid #DLC.
3) The pawns can be leveled up, but only via loot boxes.

The CEO rejects the #criticism of the game changes and explains that the #money is needed to make chess more interesting again.
The #profits flow into sexy skins, making the game interesting for a wide audience.

How Hackers Used #Slack to Break into #EA #Games

A representative for the hackers told Motherboard in an online chat that the process started by purchasing stolen cookies being sold online for $10 and using those to gain access to a Slack channel used by EA.

The hackers then requested a multifactor #authentication token from EA IT support to gain access to EA's corporate #network. The representative said this was successful two times.

Once inside EA's network, the hackers found a service for EA developers for compiling games. They successfully logged in and created a virtual machine giving them more visibility into the network, and then accessed one more service and downloaded #game #source #code.
