Magic Media and our security team had the pleasure of assisting Mythical Games with penetration testing on NFL Rivals. NFL Rivals is an Android mobile game. An arcade-style Football game in which players collect cards of the top NFL players to build their perfect team to defeat their opponents. This multiplayer experience has a few key elements that would be tempting targets to hackers and other malicious actors. Our collaboration with Mythical was their response to these threats and it was a fantastic team-effort.
Cybersecurity for NFL Rivals
Our cybersecurity team was engaged to perform penetration testing on the marketplace integration within NFL Rivals. As a Unity-powered game, Mythical relied on us to ensure their system was secure and resilient against potential attacks and hacking attempts. The Mythical Marketplace is central to the NFL Rivals player experience, allowing players to participate in a dynamic and evolving user economy. Due to its critical role, the marketplace’s security required thorough testing and refinement. A key focus was on the transaction process for purchasing player cards with in-game currency. This involved careful attention to the interaction between players’ financial information and the broader marketplace operations.
Magic Media’s cybersecurity team and security engineers conducted comprehensive penetration testing, emphasizing the payment interactions and several key gameplay components, including:
– Matchmaking
– Authentication & Registration
– Leagues system
– Squad (clan) system
– In-game shop (packs)
– Chat system
– Events
– Team management
– Achievement & rewards
– Campaigns
