Let’s not overcomplicate it — credential stuffing is one of the easiest ways to break into accounts, and it still works like a charm. Why? Because people reuse passwords like it’s 2005.
Attackers grab leaked credentials from one breach, automate logins on other sites, and boom — unauthorized access. No exploit needed. Just a recycled password and some Python.
Defend with:
- MFA (seriously, use it)
- Rate limiting
- Login anomaly detection
- Credential leak monitoring
This ain’t a sophisticated attack, but it’s effective. Stop sleeping on the basics.
