If a gaming company gives you a choice to use a 3rd party program that THEY support and THEY supply you with to download their game, then later the 3rd party program is hacked, and used as a gateway to keylog you.

Who's at fault?

We're looking at a generalization of the situation.

In general who would be at fault, we're not going into ToS or any extreme details.

company for trusting a program that wasn't secure enough

even taking into account that even major companies will get hacked occasionally, as far as PR is concerned, it'd be the company's fault.

If you get hacked, learn to solve it.

it would honestly be everyone's fault.

A) The user for not having decent anti-virus which would more likely instantly detect the key logger before it executed. If you don't believe you need anti-virus then you're a fool.

B) The company like asmit stated for recommending the program.


@noblem  hacking isn't that simple. Most people who are hacked, tapped, or infected will never even know it's happening. This is how really complex operations done by the NSA and white/black hat hackers are done.

Anti-virus's don't work all the time, I was keylogged earlier and I had to go search for it within my %TEMP% and Registory files, which both my Anti-Virus's said it was clean.

I'd mainly put the company at fault as using a 3rd party program that was compromised to hack and or infect computers is more towards the fault of the company, rather than the person who was infected.
