Case Study: CCP Games achieves game integrity and fraud prevention with Maltego

CCP Games suspends more than 90,000 malicious accounts with Maltego

CCP Games, the Icelandic creator of the MMORPG EVE Online, faced a significant challenge in protecting its complex in-game economy from fraud. The security team had to combat malicious activities like bot farming, real-money trading, and money laundering, but manually investigating these schemes across vast amounts of data was an extremely tedious and time-consuming process. To address this, they turned to the vendor Maltego as their core investigative tool.

By implementing Maltego, the CCP Games Security Team could visually map data relationships on a graph, allowing them to quickly identify relevant connections and follow the correct investigative leads. This solution saved considerable time, enabling deeper investigations into illicit activities. The use of Maltego helped CCP Games suspend more than 90,000 malicious user accounts, making the game environment safer for its legitimate players.
