Kevin Gosschalk, CEO of Arkose Labs, tells The Fintech Times that attacks on gaming companies are the most persistent and targeted outside financial services, with 27% of all gaming traffic flagged as malicious on the Arkose platform by November 2021. Fraudsters target gaming platforms for account takeovers, in-game botting and real money trading — hacked accounts loaded with virtual assets can sell for thousands of pounds on secondary markets. Gosschalk argues that multi-layered risk decisioning across the full customer journey is essential to protect in-game economies without degrading the legitimate player experience.
