I hate to tell you but The Sims, Farming Simulator, Cities Skylines, Even American ETS2 Truck Simulator have all had breaches recently. No matter what game you need to make sure you are downloading mods from a reliable/trusted source. Look for sources that do not immediately list mods until they have been checked, or known popular modders on their actual site. Love that you covered this.

The Sims 4 players have actually been having problems with mods that contain malware due to the fact that scripting mods are basically just python files disguised as .ts4script files. Thankfully TwistedMexi, a well known and respected modder, made a great anti malware mod too combat this, but it just shows that no franchise is really "safe" if it has a big enough modding scene.

a lot of this stuff listed can happen in any game if you add mods or other stuff like online like it's not just those games.
i have heard that valorants anti cheat could be used as spyware because you have to have it running all the time even when you are not playing the game and if you close it you have to completely restart your PC to play the game, which is super sketchy knowing that the company that owns valo is a Chinese company which has been known for taking info and selling it.
one reason i don't have that game installed on my PC.

61 yo female here messing up your demographic. :) Ive been subscribed to you for going on 2 years. I build my computers and youve been a huge help. But ive also been playing WoW for 19 years and had my account stolen (before I had an authenticator) and Blizzard replaced all of my items. Ive had to contact Blizzard a couple of times for problems and theyve always done everything to make things right.

This happened like 15 years ago, but I was in an online game where the main focus was to just chat with people. You had avatars and a world to explore, but not really do much else than maybe role play in. I met someone that I chatted with, they wanted to know my microsoft live email, so we could continue chatting on live messenger. At that point, I had learned to be skeptic of giving my email address out to just anyone who asks, but I really wanted to keep chatting with that person. I literally went and created a new email account, just for the purpose of having one to give to strangers. Well, the person never reached out on live messenger, and to this day I thought nothing of it. Now, after watching this video, I believe they were just phishing for emails.

I did get banned on wow once , I was a Guild master and they disbanded the guild , took everything (i was told) , took and mailed all the money away , cleared my friends list within 5 minutes.
I was playing one minute , kicked out of server , never been able to log back in , and it got locked and banned . That was 2010 by the way.
Took me jump hoops after hoops for 2 days and finally found a GM to prove that was in no way it was me (IP difference and apparently the login cycle helped) , everything got restored 3 days later , gold gear and guild remade , had to re-invite everyone, had to re-add everyone on frd list and ALOT of explaining to do because back then , getting hacked , others blame you. And lost a raid week. And no , I don't have a single mod , it was pure vanilla.
These days tho .... good luck finding a human GM at Blizzard.

You know what else carries actual, severe security risks? Kernel-level anti-cheat (rootkit) drivers that operate on Ring-0, giving unfettered administrative access to the kernel of your operating system. It's only a matter of time before these drivers get exploited, opening entire doors for full Remote Code Execution and Injection.
