credential stuffing attacks
Credential stuffing attacks refer to cyberattacks where hackers use automated scripts or tools to gain unauthorized access to user accounts by exploiting stolen or leaked usernames and passwords combinations from other data breaches. They "stuff" or input these stolen credentials into various online services or platforms to gain illegal access, targeting users who reuse passwords across multiple accounts.
