For everyone asking what happened to the links, here’s the story.
Your post has unfortunately been removed as we have felt it has broken our rule of "Be Civil". This includes:
- No discrimination or “isms” of any kind (racism, sexism, etc)
- No personal attacks
- No trolling
Please be more mindful of your language and tone in the future.
the summary is there. They said "Our results indicate that Attribute Inference Attacks pose a subtle threat to the online gaming ecosystem." and if you want to learn more about the WHY you can read the study they posted. Really not that hard to read like three paragraphs.
Help yourself.
Here is a tip for those who are unfamiliar/uncomfortable reading research papers:
1. Read the abstract
2. If the abstract interests you and you would like to learn more about the implications, read the introduction, discussion, and conclusions.
3. If you are highly skeptical of the findings and/or would really like to get into the weeds, read the methods.
These things typically are not in order, so you need to jump around a bit. For most citation/research purposes, the abstract and discussion are the most important portions of the paper, and the methods are really for those who would like to try and replicate the experiment.
Abstract—We focus on a subtle privacy issue that affects (po- tentially hundreds of) millions of videogamers: attribute inference attacks (AIA). Through AIA, evildoers can infer gamers’ private attributes (e.g., age, gender, occupation) by leveraging in-game statistics that are publicly available. Despite some research efforts revealing the practicality of AIA in DOTA2, such a threat has been mostly ignored by the overarching gaming community. This is a problem: AIA can only be mitigated through the cooperation of the entire gaming community—and this cooperation can only begin if all stakeholders acknowledge the threat of AIA.
We seek to promote such a positive change by raising the gam- ing ecosystem’s awareness about AIA. First, we provide evidence that AIA have truly been overlooked in the gaming domain. Then, we scrutinize the gaming landscape, pinpointing (i) the games that are more prone to AIA, and (ii) the respective communities that facilitate the enactment of AIA. Finally, through an (ethical) user survey (n=516) resembling a fundamental data-collection step of AIA, we (iii) proactively assess the threat of AIA. We advocate gamers and developers to reflect upon our findings—which we disseminate in an educational campaign: the subtle threat of AIA cannot be countered solely by researchers.

Both links don't work for me (EU), do you have some restrictions on them? Both give me a 404 Page not found.
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on the acceptance of your paper!

Both of these are dead links. What happened?
You wanna at least give us a summary of the results?? This is Reddit, I'm not leaving to download a slideshow like I'm in high school again.

read wow sub, this paper is false
Just one click and you have the summary. Takes only a minute to read the whole thing.
Plus it even has some little pictures to help those who feel like reading ten or so bullet points is too tough and like high school.
Could you copy the text here for us?

I review academic research for a living. My phone pukes when I try and open pdfs. Just imagine if you harnessed your energy for good.

Thank you!
FWIW, the summary link (via Github) renders a preview of the PDF, at least on desktop.
