What to do if the built-in asset protection does not work

Hello @Mind-Brain! In this topic you have written me about the built-in protection from extracting the assets from the game, but it doesn’t work. Today my assets were hacked. There rescued me only that it was a White Hat hacker and he just notified me and converted everything into a joke, and that he was rich enough to not be interested in my packs. But the next time everything must be much worse. Where that key is stored is well-known, and advanced UE programmers, even not professional hackers, just laugh from such a protection. Is it possible to protect the assets more seriously, I know that who is interested in specifically me, will crack it anyway, but is it possible to do that the cracking would cost at least 1000-2000$ and the serious amount of time, not free for 5 min, and also to not broke the chunk system, to preserve the possibility of publishing the small patches?

I cannot give you more serious advice as I am not a security expert.

However, they should not be able to decrypt your files without that key, which you should store on a physical medium outside of internet access.

Other than that, please try to contact epic themselves… this is just a public forum so you’re not likely to get official responses! :slight_smile:
