Networked arcade machines, a staple of modern entertainment centers, are increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals. Their internet connectivity, often running on outdated software, creates a vulnerable attack surface. The most common threats include ransomware attacks, where malware encrypts the machine's data, rendering it unusable until a ransom is paid. Data breaches are another significant risk, as these machines can collect player information and payment details, which are valuable on the dark web. Malware and viruses can be introduced through compromised update servers or USB drives used for maintenance, leading to system instability or data corruption. Additionally, arcades are susceptible to physical attacks, where attackers gain direct access to internal components to install malicious hardware or software. Finally, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks can overwhelm a machine's network connection, disrupting gameplay and online leaderboards. Protecting these systems requires a multi-layered approach, including regular software updates, network segmentation, strong physical security, and comprehensive employee training.
