Look Far Afield: Metaverse Security Secrets from the Gaming Industry
summary
Argues that online games already expose the exact threats metaverse platforms will face and gives concrete examples: real money trading where compromised accounts fund third‑party gold sales; Ni no Kuni’s play‑to‑earn experiment that spawns hundreds of thousands of bots, fills servers and collapses the token value; the economics of credential stuffing (roughly $10 average value per account, ~1% success from breached creds); fraud marketplaces on Discord; mitigations: server‑side authority, cost‑proofing authentication, heavy content moderation and client anti‑cheat like EasyAntiCheat.
