Credential Stuffing: The Automated Attack You Can Prevent 🔐
Credential stuffing uses stolen username/password combinations from past breaches to attack new sites.
How it works:
Attackers obtain lists of breached credentials, then use automated tools to test them against thousands of websites, hoping users reused passwords.
Why it's effective:
80% of people reuse passwords
Automated testing is fast and cheap
Even 1% success rate gives attackers access
How to prevent:
✅ Unique passwords for every account (password manager helps!)
✅ Multi-factor authentication (stops attackers even with correct password)
✅ Monitor for breaches (Have I Been Pwned? site shows compromised emails)
✅ Change passwords immediately if your email appears in breach notification
For your business:
✅ Educate employees about password reuse risks
✅ Require MFA on all critical accounts
✅ Monitor for unusual login patterns
✅ Test employee credentials for breach databases
One weak password = entire account compromised.
Unique passwords + MFA = real protection.
