In January , it was reported that a plain text list containing 1, Minecraft usernames and passwords had been leaked online.

The leaked account details would allow anyone to log in as the original user and download the full version of the game. How the hackers managed to hack into user credentials remains unclear, as Microsoft has since confirmed that their services weren't compromised and that they've taken the appropriate steps to secure the accounts. This could mean that the accounts could have been acquired through phishing or the use of keylogging malware, placing the blame on lax user behavior.

While the 1, leaked accounts are a drop in the pond in terms of scale and damage to users, it could have been worse. Gaming has become a major industry, boasting a steadily growing market and economy involving companies that invest huge amounts to develop the next big thing. It's also driven by a huge market of players that are willing to spend serious money not just to buy new games and platforms, but to gain an edge with in-game items and add-ons.

To put this into proper context, some popular online games such as Blizzard's World of Warcraft feature an enormous open world designed to accommodate a vast number of players.

Despite reports of waning popularity, Warcraft still listed a huge subscriber base of around 7. Just like any other massively multiplayer online MMO game worth a player's attention, it features a virtual in-game economy where players earn or pick up virtual items and currency that can be used or traded within the game.

Unfortunately, the competitive nature of some players who want to gain certain in-game advantages has caused the emergence of an alternative economy—one that's not driven or regulated by the game's developers, where the concept of virtual supply and demand involves the exchange of real world money. Because of the demand, this alternative economy has spurred enterprising individuals who have the time to play to "farm" the game by earning in-game currency and rare items. They then sell these virtual goods to players outside the game, either through chat rooms and dedicated forums, or online auction sites such as eBay for amounts that could reach hundreds—and even thousands—of dollars 2.

The amount depends on the demand and the item's rarity. Unfortunately, this alternative virtual economy also comes with a dark side. The demand and potential for earning real money in exchange for virtual items have also made online gaming platforms and its user base an ideal target for hackers and cybercriminals. The motivation for account hacking isn't hard to comprehend.
