With the craze triggered by the release of the trailer of "Battlefield 6", criminals began to use players' expectations to commit fraud.Recently, a new type of phishing scam has appeared on social media, and players have been induced to leak Steam account information through the fake Battlefield 6 test invitation.
The well-known fan account Battlefield Bulletin took the lead in exposing this scam on social platforms and posted screenshots of false invitations to warn players
The fake ads highly imitate the style of EA's official announcements, including the main visual of "Battlefield 6", the "Add to Test" button, and the Steam logo to enhance credibility.Clicking the link will jump to the phishing website to steal user credentials.
It should be clear that EA has never organized a "Battlefield 6" test event through private messages.All formal test invitations are sent only through the EA Playtesting portal or within the EA account notification.If you do not register through the official website, any "invitation" received is fraudulent.
This type of scam is not the first time. There were similar cases during the test of "Eldon Fargo: Shadow of the Golden Tree" and the multiplayer shooting game "SAND", both of which were burglary through counterfeit Steam login pages.
It is worth looking forward to that "Battlefield 6" will start official public testing after the multiplayer mode press conference on August 1.At that time, all players can obtain testing qualifications through the official EA/DICE channel, without trusting unknown advertisements.
Before the game is officially launched, please be vigilant: fraudsters often use players' enthusiasm and information differences to commit crimes, and to increase prevention awareness can effectively avoid risks.
