In today’s digital and contactless world, online interactions and transactions are becoming the new way of life. What is the core aspect that drives these digital interactions and transactions? It is the digital identity of all users. This digital identity is used across many industries to deliver numerous services such as entertainment, retail, education, financial services and many others. However, unlike the physical identities, the digital identity can be compromised not just by targeted attacks on specific individuals, but it can be compromised at mass scale as well. This is what happens when accounts are left vulnerable to attacks. These are known as Account Takeover attacks also referred to as ATO attacks.
The gaming world is facing a growing threat of fake accounts. These fake account creations are causing chaos within gaming platforms, disturbing fair play, and diverting finances away from genuine users and companies. Imagine a single hacker creating an army of 10,000 fake bot accounts. Each bot receives an initial incentive from the company, resulting in significant financial losses for gaming platforms. This hacker sets up the bots to compete in their own custom-made pools, making sure that the bonuses they gather end up benefiting them.
