💡 Credential Stuffing at Scale
Credential stuffing uses stolen username-password pairs from data breaches to attempt logins across many websites. Since users frequently reuse passwords, these automated attacks achieve success rates of 0.1-2%, which translates to thousands of compromised accounts from millions of attempts.
💡 Honeypot Network Intelligence
Honeypots are decoy systems designed to attract and study attackers. Networks of honeypots provide early warning of new attack campaigns, reveal attacker tools and techniques, and generate high-confidence threat intelligence with minimal false positives.
