Working efficiently with Sangal Esports, Kaspersky announced the extension of the agreement and became the official sponsor of the team. Distinguished by winning championships in many national and international tournaments, Sangal Esports remains Kaspersky’s Turkey ambassador in the esports category, while protecting team members’ devices with Kaspersky software.

Kaspersky Regional Representative for Turkey Mücahit Hoşcan said: We are proud of the achievements of Sangal Esports in Turkey and abroad. We will be happy to see the Sangal team in their Kaspersky logo jerseys at the prestigious 2022 PGL Major tournament to be held in Romania on April 21-24. We wish them the best of luck and would like to point out that Kaspersky protection will always be with them.

Sangal Esports co-founder Emre ERGÜL evaluated the ongoing partnership as follows:We are proud to continue working with our partner Kaspersky to raise awareness of cyber threats to gamers. Our goal is to provide our fans with maximum security against cybercriminals without loss of performance.”

Players and their accounts become a valuable target for cyber criminals. From July 2020 to June 2021, more than 300,000 users encountered various game-related malware targeting personal information, money, cryptocurrencies, and account access data. The pandemic is also having a major impact on the video game industry. It caused an increase in attacks against PC and mobile game users.

The number of threats to gamers is also increasing and it is still difficult for standard users to visually recognize a plan that deviates from the actual recommendations. In such a situation, users can best protect themselves by being vigilant and using reliable technology that can help detect a threat when human perception fails.

To stay safe while gaming, Kaspersky experts recommend the following:

• Strong passwords should be used: Kaspersky Password Manager support is available to choose a unique password for each account and make secure passwords easier to use.
• Apps may only be downloaded from official stores such as Apple App Store, Google Play or Amazon Appstore. The apps in these stores aren’t 100 percent secure either, but at least they’re managed by store representatives and have a filtering system. Not every app can easily enter these stores.
• No incoming external site links should be clicked while chatting, the address of any source asking for username and password should be checked carefully, the page may be fake.
• Downloading pirated software and other illegal content should be avoided. This also applies when redirecting a legitimate website to another website.
• Using a strong security solution will be very helpful especially if it does not slow down the computer while gaming. Kaspersky Internet Security works seamlessly with gaming services such as Steam while protecting against all possible cyber threats. Kaspersky Internet Security or any other security package can be purchased with a special offer until May 4.
