Hungary-based game developer Gaijin Entertainment found themselves in a tactically difficult position last week when a user of their combat simulator War Thunder tried to win an online argument by sharing classified documents in the company’s game forums.
The unfortunate security breach came during an online debate over the game’s representation of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank, with different factions of users debating the various merits of the version in the game compared with its real-life equipment and record.

A diceware passphrase is my go to when i want something random but relatively easy to remember though a minimum of six words should probably be the goal if it’s at all important - like your password manager because you only need the one to get in. None of that using song lyrics or quotes and changing the letters to numbers nonsense, password crackers trying to obtain the hashes or whatever are well on to that.
