Game players are affected by phishing campaigns, while gaming companies are getting hit by DDoS attacks, says Akamai.
A new report from cybersecurity provider and content delivery network Akamai examines the trend in cyberattacks against gamers and gaming companies.
The goal was to learn how game players address security in the midst of the attacks that hit game companies every day.
Gaming companies and websites have also been targeted with cyberattacks.
Such gaming companies as Ubisoft, Epic Games, Valve, and Blizzard encourage the use of MFA. Third, two-factor authentication can serve in a pinch on sites where MFA is not an option.
