Criminals spent more time targeting gamers in 2020 than they have in previous years. And now that they've turned their attention toward gaming companies as well, developers need to know what to expect if a criminal attack were to target their game.
The SOTI Report: Gaming in a Pandemic explores the data behind these attacks, reveals the preferred attack methods, and looks at the rise in phishing-as-a-service kits aimed at separating gamers from their money.
For instance, Akamai noticed that along with a 224% increase in credential stuffing attacks, web attacks aimed at gaming companies were up 340%.
