The 5 Most-Wanted Threatpost Stories of 2020
2020-12-30 13:00

As 2020 draws to a close, it's clear that work-from-home security, ransomware, COVID-19-themed social engineering and attacks by nation-states will go down as defining topics for the cybersecurity world for the year.

One of Threatpost's Top 5 most-read stories covered the meteoric rise of the game Among Us, and how it outpaced its developer's ability to keep up with malicious actors.

In October, a specific ongoing attack forced InnerSloth, the company behind the game, to hastily roll out an update designed to kick bad actors off the game's servers - likely along with some innocent players as well.

Gaming security news in general was in-demand in 2020.

In March, Nvidia issued patches for high-severity bugs in its graphics driver, which can be exploited by a local attacker to launch DoS or code-execution attacks, and also affected display drivers used in GeForce GPUs for Windows.
