The FBI is working with the International Game Developers Association in the US to help fight online harassment.
According to a report by Polygon, the IGDA is creating a resource on its site to help developers cope with harassment and abuse.
Executive director of the IGDA, Kate Edwards, has been working with the FBI since meeting at the San Diego Comic Con in July.
“I had a meeting with the FBI in July regarding harassment,” Edwards said. “They noted a rise in activity.
“They themselves monitor this activity, but they’re focused more on cybercrime issues like hacking and very malicious harassment.”
“We wanted to let Ms. Edwards know the FBI’s capability,” said Emily Yeh, a spokesperson for the FBI.
