Hi! just wondering, with all the hype around gaming consoles again, which one do you guys think is the most secure these days? like in terms of account protection, privacy, hacking, etc.

i’ve got Trend Micro on my phone and computers so i feel pretty covered there, but for consoles there’s nothing like that available afaik. so i’m kinda relying on whatever built-in security they have, which got me thinking—how good are they really?

i read xbox has that secure boot thing and ties into microsoft accounts with 2FA, ps5 has 2FA too and some decent built-in stuff, but sony had that huge psn hack back in the day so i’m still kinda paranoid. Switch seems more chill but also heard it's easier to jailbreak or mess with.

just wondering if anyone’s had issues or knows more about how secure these actually are. like do you just trust them as-is or do you tweak settings, use super long passwords, etc?

Hello,

It's challenging to definitively say which console is the most secure, as security is a constantly evolving landscape and each platform has its strengths and weaknesses. The only I can share is to give some tips how to enhance security on any console
 

To enhance security on any console:

  • Use two-factor authentication.
  • Use strong, unique passwords.
  • Review and adjust privacy settings.
  • Be cautious about what you share online.
  • Keep your console updated with the latest software.
