Abstract

In the age of Web 3.0, the metaverse is emerging as a new innovative element to replace the Internet. Leading major ICT companies, it is striving to become a metaverse platform or infrastructure-oriented company. Along with the expansion of the VR and AR market, governments of each country are investing large budgets in this field. However, security concerns about metaverse are also growing. In addition to potential damage to infrastructure, platform and services, personal information leakage and privacy damage are expected to increase further. In this study, we investigated and closely analyzed cases of infringement on the infrastructure, platform, and service of Metaverse. We have clearly identified the current state of metaverse security and the characteristics of the risks of greatest concern. The research procedure is composed of a method of determining the metaverse security area for case analysis first and deriving the type of threat by area through the type of infringement. In particular, the results were mapped into Domain, Case, and Threat, and the implications of the results were analyzed. Through these results, researchers want to contribute to finding the right direction of research by clearly understanding the latest metaverse security status.
