It’s So Hard To Tell, But We’re All Getting Credential Stuffed

There’s innocuous bot traffic—search engines, for example—and then there’s bad bot interaction, when fraudsters get their hands on massive lists of compromised user name/password combinations and see what goodies they’ll unlock: bank accounts? Gift card accounts with cash and credit cards attached? 

All of that is possible thanks to ubiquitous password reuse. And getting credentials is far from hard: more than 3 billion credentials were reportedly stolen in 2016, and that number nearly doubled between 2016 and 2020.
