🤔 Do you also use the same password for all the applications you use?
⚠️ Not just you, more than 65% of people reuse the same password on all their sites.
😯 Do you know that it makes your device vulnerable to a Credential Stuffing attack?
❓What is Credential Stuffing?
🔐 Credential stuffing is a type of cyberattack that gains unauthorized access to user accounts through large-scale automated login requests.
👤 Hackers derive the data ( usernames, passwords, emails, etc.) from a breach or purchases from the dark web.
💡 Then they use these credentials to gain access to other websites.
🔁 One of the main reasons this kind of attack is more successful is because people reuse the same login credentials for multiple services.
😟 This means that all our private data and information is going to be at stake.
😰 Scary, right?
😀 Here are a few preventive means to avoid getting hacked by credential stuffing:
🔺 Using unique passwords for each of your accounts
🔺 Multi-factor authentication(Secondary Passwords, OTP, Biometrics, PINs)
🔺 CAPTCHA
🔺 Breached password protection
🔺 Multi-step login process
great
