Credential harvesting is a significant cybercrime threat where attackers collect user credentials in bulk to sell on the dark web or use for further malicious activities, such as account takeovers and credential stuffing. This practice is prevalent, with over 24 billion credentials reportedly amassed on the dark web, and poses a considerable threat to industries like retail. Common techniques include phishing, keylogging, and man-in-the-middle attacks, which exploit vulnerabilities in traditional authentication methods. To mitigate these risks, organizations are encouraged to adopt robust cybersecurity practices, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and passwordless authentication, to make credential harvesting more difficult. Descope offers solutions to enhance authentication security, either by implementing passwordless methods or strengthening password-based systems with additional protection against breached credentials. These measures not only protect against data breaches but also provide a more user-friendly experience by reducing the reliance on passwords.
