Martina Baron was the victim of a peculiar online fraud. Over two years, she’d invested more than 3,000 euros in an online game called Howrse, where players rise from mucking out stalls to running an equestrian center. Martina Baron had a stud farm with several hundred digital horses. But then hackers gained access to her account and sold most of her animals. In the end, she filed charges with the police for virtual horse-theft.
