Fortnite Sued Over Personal Data Breach

I can personally confirm the breach is still there. I've been hacked twice and receive login attempts from foriegn IPs talked to their customer service about it and the info needed to secure ur account is rediculous. u need every password used and every transaction

I hope everyone that sues enjoys their 12 -/- 15 dollars while the law firm makes millions.

So, I haven’t done too much reading on the copyright Supreme Court case, but there is debate about what is copyrightable. Think about something like the Happy Birthday song - sure, that one guy created it, but it had been used so many times and in so many contexts that the Copyright Office ruled that it was in the public domain now - no way to put the genie back in the bottle. A similar concept may apply for the Fortnite dances. If more and more people are “flossing” in a way that is divorced from the original creator and original dance, then that may now be in the public domain, which would prevent backpack kid from copyrighting it. Honestly, it seems stupid, but as a law student, these are all really interesting legal questions being asked.

PUBG's retaliation probably has a lot to do with the fact that, as I understand it, PUBG is actively losing players to Fortnite as many of them are ditching or skipping PUBG in favor of the, in the eyes of many "better", more free-to-play Fortnite. I'm saying this as someone who doesn't play either one of them, and who considers Fortnite in particular to be a cancer on the earth so it's just information I've come across, not personal bias in favor of Fortnite.

Did he just say that, "...an XSS (Cross Site Scripting). That involves sending users a link.... click on it.... capture your login info"? That's not an XSS, that's an MTIM/Spoofing attack....
