Reposify's Research Uncovers Critical Exposures and Vulnerabilities in the Attack Surfaces of the World's Leading Gaming Companies
Friday, August 28, 2020
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Reposify, the leading Attack Surface Management Platform, today unveiled new research findings of critical asset exposures and vulnerabilities in the attack surfaces of the world's leading gaming companies.
Leveraging Reposify's Attack Surface Management SaaS Platform, Reposify's researchers measured the prevalence of exposed sensitive assets and well-known vulnerabilities among 20 gaming companies and their subsidiaries.
Top Findings Include:
-- 55% of companies had at least one misconfigured database exposed to the
Internet that could result in a data leakage
-- 50% of the companies had at least one RDP exposed to the Internet
-- 85% of companies were vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks
-- 45% of companies were vulnerable to DDOS attacks
Reposify discovered many dozens of exposed databases which place gamers' personal, identifiable information and other sensitive data at imminent risk of leakage.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has been a boon for the gaming industry but, in parallel, it has experienced an increase in cybersecurity attacks. The growing digital footprint of gaming companies, combined with the sensitive data they hold, makes them a highly lucrative target for attackers, which are always on the lookout for weak points in these companies' external attack surfaces," said Yaron Tal, Reposify's Co-founder and CEO.
The gaming industry is known for its need for speed in innovation and development processes. The fast development cycles and frequent product launches can result in bugs, misconfigurations and other errors which may remain unknown until it's too late. Gaining real-time visibility into critical exposures allows teams to proactively discover, mitigate and manage such risks before they can be exploited by attackers.
