Games are the most vulnerable to Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks. Akamai's report shows that 79% of total DDoS attacks in Q4 2017 targeted gaming applications. This figure actually represents a three percent decrease compared to the previous quarter. Meanwhile, attacks against telecommunications and internet applications increased to 6%, up from 3%, and financial services applications also saw a 2% increase, reaching 4% in the last quarter of 2017.

A DDoS attack is a form of DoS attack where the attacker renders a network inaccessible (slow or data loss) by attacking using multiple Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. This creates a flood of traffic, making it difficult to identify the attacker.

DDoS attacks are highly detrimental, both operationally and financially. A 2015 B2B International survey in collaboration with Kaspersky Lab, titled *Global Corporate IT Security Risks*, identified that a single DDoS attack on a company's online resources can cause financial losses ranging from US$53,000 to US$417,000.
