INTERNET GAMING: LUCRATIVE MARKET FOR FRAUD
One of the fastest-growing Internet entertainment industries,
online gambling is estimated to reach $433 billion by
2012, according to Global Betting and Gaming Consultants.
Consequently, it comes as no surprise that this lucrative
market is being challenged by fraudsters almost daily.
THE THREAT: ACCOUNT HACKING
Online attacks such as keylogger viruses, phishing, and man-
in-the-middle exploit one of the key security weaknesses
of the Internet gaming sites: the inability to ensure the
authenticity of the user and the transactions he/she initiates.
Inevitably, this leads to account hacking with thousands of
dollars in stolen funds and countless upset customers.
THE DANGER: UNSUSPECTING GAMERS
Most online fraud occurs when unsuspecting users have
their online identity compromised via sophisticated electronic
attacks designed to steal a user’s online credentials
(username and password). Once this information is stolen,
fraudsters are able to impersonate a legitimate user and
conduct in-game activities at will.
THE PROBLEM: INSECURE STATIC PASSWORDS
Online gaming accounts are traditionally protected by static
passwords that provide almost no security and are easy to
steal or crack.Their use makes online gamers, their accounts
and identities vulnerable to a vast number of keyloggers,
trojans, and malware, which were designed to steal user
credentials, hack the account, and strip it off valuable assets.
THE SOLUTION: LOW-IMPACT SECURITY ENHANCEMENT
VASCO’s two-factor authentication devices offer electronic
proof of identity for online gamers with a security level similar
to the photo ID cards.
SAY “NO” TO ACCOUNT HACKING
VASCO’s two-factor authentication solution drastically
reduces the risk of online fraud by replacing insecure static
passwords with strong, constantly changing passwords.
IDENTIFY AND PROTECT THE USER
Because a new password is required at each login, the
user must be in possession of a DIGIPASS®
authentication
device at all times. Therefore, online gaming operators can
be assured that only properly authenticated users can gain
access, transfer funds, and play safely.
SECURE ONLINE PAYMENTS AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Man-in-the-middle attacks have made it obvious that
conventional authentication tools may not be enough for
adequate protection. VASCO®
addresses this gap with its
