Account Takeover is a Persistent and Damaging Threat That Can be Prevented

Account takeover (ATO) is the act of using bots to take over a user account without permission from the account owner. When an account is compromised by a bad actor, it can be abused in a range of ways to extract confidential business or user data, commit financial crime and fraud, spread disinformation, and carry out other nefarious activities.

Though any industry can be targeted, ATO attacks predominantly impact firms engaged in e-commerce, banking and financial services, payments, gaming, social media, as well as travel and hospitality, due to the opportunities for financial fraud and data exfiltration they present to attackers.

Types Of ATO Attacks We Mitigate

  • This technique leverages bots to attempt large-scale log-ins to verify lists of usernames and passwords as well as payment card data.

  • Attackers buy or trade lists of log-in credentials from underground or dark web sites that specialize in publishing or selling lists of breached or leaked log-in credentials.

  • Because many internet users tend to reuse the same password across many websites, attackers can test compromised passwords across multiple websites and apps to break into them with one set of log-in credentials.

  • Also referred to as a ‘brute force’ attack, credential cracking uses bots to guess or ‘crack’ valid log-in credentials on a website or application.

  • Bots sequentially enter random values for usernames and/ or passwords on log-in forms to try to guess the right credentials.

  • After valid log-in credentials are identified through brute forcing, they can be abused to commit ATO attacks or sold on dark web sites to other cybercriminals.

 

Preventing Account Takeover Is Very Important

Stolen Confidential Data

An account compromised by a bad actor can be abused in a range of ways to extract confidential business or user data, commit financial crime and fraud, spread disinformation, and carry out other nefarious activities.

Damaged Brand Reputation and Trust

ATO can result in lawsuits, chargebacks, compensation claims, lost customers, and decline in growth and revenue.

Financial and Data Losses

ATO is a significant attack vector used to exfiltrate confidential business and consumer data that can be sold or leveraged to carry out fraud, espionage, misinformation, and a range of harmful attacks.

Strain on Resources

ATO attacks and their resolution can cost an enterprise thousands of wasted hours per month, putting unnecessary strain on customer service, fraud investigation, and legal and compliance departments.
