Exposing the Credential Stuffing Ecosystem
The KasadaIQ team saw over 417k accounts compromised last month. Of the 104 companies attacked, 86% already had an anti-bot solution in place and 43% even had two or more. These attacks don’t happen in a vacuum, so our team took a deep dive into the sophisticated ecosystem that enables account takeover and provide actionable insights on how to defend logins.?
A Turning Point in Loyalty Fraud Prevention
With loyalty programs increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, the recent $52 million FTC settlement with Marriott raises the stakes of defending against account takeover. This landmark decision acknowledges loyalty points as personal assets, pushing businesses to secure their loyalty programs against fraud and account takeover.
