6TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CYBER SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS (ICCS) 2020. SPECIAL TRACK: CYBERCRIME IN THE FIELD OF GAME-STUDIES.
The digital games sector, and in particular the online and mobile games segment, is growing steadily. Even now, during the Covid 19 crisis, the digital games industry is perceived as one of the few winning industries. But as always, when it comes to people and huge monetary values, the door is wide open for fraudulent activities. The short track of Game!Crime? wants to discuss what kind of crimes and fraudulent activities occur in digital game environments. How can the industry (game developers, publishers, etc.) react and last but not least how can players be protected? Furthermore, how can new technological approaches such as AI or Blockchain help to protect stakeholders?
Topics of interest:
Avatar and identity theft
Theft and misuse of credit card data
Theft and misuse of virtual goods
