High volumes of attacks were used to target video game companies and players between 2018 and 2020, an Akamai report reveals.

"Criminals are launching relentless waves of attacks against games and players alike in order to compromise accounts, steal and profit from personal information and in-game assets, and gain competitive advantages."

Game players subjected to a steady barrage of criminal activity.

The report stresses that game players themselves are subjected to a steady barrage of criminal activity, largely through credential stuffing and phishing attacks.

"Gaming has always brought communities together, so all of us at DreamHack want to ensure our valued communities of fans and players are protected from cyber attacks of this nature," said Tomas Lykedal, CSO, DreamHack.
