Description: Credential Stuffing is a cyber attack method that relies on using stolen account credentials to gain unauthorized access to user accounts across various platforms. This type of attack is based on the premise that many users reuse their usernames and passwords across multiple services. Attackers, upon obtaining lists of leaked credentials from data breaches, can automate the process of testing these combinations on different websites. The main characteristics of this attack include its high effectiveness, as it exploits the lack of good security practices by users, and its automated nature, allowing attackers to make thousands of attempts in a matter of minutes. The relevance of Credential Stuffing lies in its ability to compromise user accounts en masse, potentially resulting in identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. This type of attack poses a significant challenge for organizations, which must implement robust security measures, such as multi-factor authentication and monitoring for suspicious activities, to mitigate the risk of falling victim to this type of intrusion.
