Fraudsters soon saw big business by intercepting payment transactions or hacking into gamers’ accounts. With fraud statistics on the rise and taken the advice from the governmental agency to heart, game developer Konami realized the need to implement a security solution for its community sites “e-Amusement Gate” and “Love Plus Photograph”, for its online games “Love Plus Kanojyo Mail” and “Golf Connection Network Service” and its online shopping channel “Konami Style”.

Furthermore, the company already had a proven track record in the online gaming and B2C market. Additionally, VASCO can offer us global support for our services worldwide”, says Mr. Kenichi Fukuhara, manager of studio IT center, technical support group at Konami. “The large variety in products made VASCO an attractive choice for us. We were also pleasantly surprised that VASCO’s software authenticators were widely available on different platforms and diverse mobile devices worldwide.
