Gank, a slang shortening of the word gangster, is typically a reference to stealing and defrauding someone.[1][2]
In video games, its meaning can be slightly different. In that case, it often refers to having many high damage characters attack another single character to eliminate them quickly. In EVE online, a suicide gank can be performed by using a large amount of Catalysts to attack a single ship in high security space.[3]
