Credential Stuffing Attack
“Credential Stuffing Attack” ek aisa cyber attack hota hai jismein ek attacker kisi website ya application ke saath attack karta hai jiske saath previously leaked usernames aur passwords hai. Yeh usernames aur passwords typically sunsaan ya unused accounts se liye jate hain.
Is attack mein, hacker ek automated tool ki madad se randomly usernames aur passwords ko try karte hain aur jab koi password sahi nikalta hai, vah attacker usse access prapt kar leta hai. Is tarah se, hacker user ke confidential information ke access ko le sakta hai aur unke naam se transactions bhi kar sakta hai.
Ye attackers typically password reuse ki wajah se hi affect hote hain jisme ek user apne kai accounts ke liye same password ka upyog karta hai. Isliye, yadi aap apne passwords ko strong aur unique banate hain aur regular basis par change karte hain toh aap is tarah ke attacks ko rok sakte hain.
Isliye, apne passwords ki jo surkasha hai usko hamesha dhyan mein rakhein.
