Your PlayStation 4 and Xbox One aren’t safe, claims security specialist

Correction: This article originally featured an infographic that claimed the Kinect for Xbox One is “always on” without noting that owners of the console have the power to turn it off whenever they choose. We’ve updated this story, and we apologize for publishing the misleading information.

You shouldn’t feel safe when you’re playing a game. You might turn to your PlayStation 4 or another console to get away from the evils of the world, but you’re just as much at risk for identity theft or worse thanks to your gaming hobby … at least according to the security experts at Trend Micro.
