Credential stuffing has become a critical threat due to the widespread practice of credential reuse, where users employ the same passwords across multiple accounts, making it easier for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access. The attacks involve using automated bots to try stolen credentials on numerous sites, posing significant risks including data breaches, account takeovers, and financial losses. Factors such as the rise of the digital economy and the availability of breached data have exacerbated the issue. To counteract credential stuffing, organizations can implement multi-factor authentication, passwordless authentication, password hashing, reCAPTCHA, and breached password monitoring. These measures, alongside solutions like Descope's authentication platform, can help mitigate the risks by adding layers of security and making it more difficult for attackers to exploit stolen credentials.
