What is it?
Credential stuffing is a prevalent type of cyberattack where attackers utilize stolen username and password combinations to gain unauthorized access to user accounts across various platforms. This method exploits the common practice of users reusing credentials across multiple sites, making it easier for attackers to succeed once they have obtained a list of compromised credentials from data breaches or the dark web.
