Credential stuffing is a cyber attack method in which an attacker uses automated bots to systematically input stolen usernames and passwords into websites, aiming to gain unauthorized access to user accounts.
Malicious bots enable credential stuffing by leveraging large-scale automated scripts to try different username and password combinations on various online platforms simultaneously, increasing the chances of successfully breaching user accounts.
The consequences of credential stuffing attacks can range from unauthorized access to sensitive information, financial theft, identity theft, and reputational damage for individuals and organizations affected.
Here are some common questions related to malicious bot-enabled credential stuffing attacks:
Organizations can defend against credential stuffing attacks by implementing multi-factor authentication, monitoring suspicious login attempts, educating users on secure password practices, and using blacklist and whitelist strategies.
Signs of a credential stuffing attack include a sudden increase in failed login attempts, multiple login attempts from different IP addresses within a short period, and notifications of unauthorized account access.
Individuals can protect themselves from credential stuffing attacks by using unique and complex passwords for each online account, enabling multi-factor authentication, using a password manager, monitoring account activity regularly, and being cautious of phishing attempts.
