A weakness in Epic Games' authentication process for the highly popular Fortnite left gamers' accounts exposed to take over risks. An attacker could have stolen login tokens by just tricking the victim into clicking a link.

The combination of an unvalidated subdomain and cross-site scripting (XSS) in another allowed security researchers to bypass the protections implemented by the single sign-on (SSO) access control mechanism used for logging into Fortnite.
