Cybercrimes are events we are starting to get used to, in fact we often hear about them, sometimes linked to actions against large corporations, such as banks, insurance companies and universities.

However, it happens to hear about cybercrimes that are not based on modern hacking software, but are linked to the naivety of people working within a company (as in the case of phishing or opening corrupt USB sticks from company computers. ).
This time the protagonist is a brand well known by young people, EA Sports, with one of its flagship products: FIFA Ultimate Team.
