Learn from the mistakes of others: When your game uses a server or relies on backend services... be sure to properly secure them.
...or you'll get hacked && people will lose their data or suffer some other terrible injustice. 'Secret Neighbor' learned that one the hard way.

It looks like their backend software is hacked. No server access itself seems. How hard can it be.
Ah, right. Backend services got hacked. Fixed the title. Well either way, if the thing relies on online stuff... better secure it, properly is the lesson.
We have here a plain simple role system and no bells and wistles. Small attack surface, easy to maintain. We do not do complex security :)
Yes. I'm sort of laughing at those guys from the article. Also... yeah people should learn from their mistake.
