This includes all the ATO variations such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brute-force attacks &#8211; attackers try common or weak username\/passwords pairs (from a preset list) to brute-force their way into an account<\/li>\n<li>Credential stuffing &#8211; attackers try username\/password pairs leaked at other sites<\/li>\n<li>Password spraying &#8211; attackers try the same password, but against different usernames<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/financial-sector-has-been-seeing-more-credential-stuffing-than-ddos-attacks-in-recent-years\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"fi-incident-history.png\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet1.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/24\/4a85199f-b405-45aa-82d1-e6f1155610da\/fi-incident-history.png\"><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet1.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/24\/4a85199f-b405-45aa-82d1-e6f1155610da\/fi-incident-history.png\" class alt=\"fi-incident-history.png\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript> <span class=\"credit\">Image: F5<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Some credential stuffing attacks look like DDoS<\/h3>\n<p>Per F5&#8217;s statistics, in 2019, the number of DDoS attacks has gone up, but this number can be misleading since some brute-force &amp; credential stuffing attacks are so aggressive and take place at such fast speeds that it&#8217;s hard to tell them apart from actual DDoS attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Brute-force and credential stuffing attacks are becoming more ferocious because the shelf life of leaked username and password combos is also getting shorter, as more threat groups are engaged in similar attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to a victim&#8217;s banking account first often pushes some criminal gangs into turning up the volume and speed of their attacks, with some brute-forcing incidents generating as much traffic as a DDoS attack.<\/p>\n<h3>North American banks are targeted more<\/h3>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>The connection between dumps of fresh usernames and passwords on the criminal underground and brute-force and credential dumping attacks against the financial sector is also visible in a graph showing the attacks&#8217; geographical distribution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We hypothesize that the prevalence of brute force and credential stuffing attacks in North America is driven largely by the enormous volume of existing breached credentials for North American users that has resulted from more than a decade of near-daily data breaches,&#8221; F5 researchers said.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/financial-sector-has-been-seeing-more-credential-stuffing-than-ddos-attacks-in-recent-years\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"fi-incident-continets.png\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet4.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/24\/8783e7c3-8e6e-4567-a641-e36e6d750618\/fi-incident-continets.png\"><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet4.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/04\/24\/8783e7c3-8e6e-4567-a641-e36e6d750618\/fi-incident-continets.png\" class alt=\"fi-incident-continets.png\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript> <span class=\"credit\">Image: F5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The F5 report only analyzed the financial sector. However, at the global level, automated logins have been growing for a while. In 2018, Akamai reported that credential stuffing incidents were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/credential-stuffing-attacks-are-reaching-ddos-proportions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">reaching DDoS proportions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Exact numbers comparing the two attack types aren&#8217;t yet available, though. However, in an email, F5 told <em>ZDNet<\/em> that they wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if credential stuffing and other ATO attempts are now more common than DDoS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would hazard a guess that credential abuse in its various forms for the purposes of account takeover is more prevalent than DDoS,&#8221; F5 told <em>ZDNet<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s important to note that a) these attacks serve very different purposes for attackers and b) they pose different challenges in terms of detection.
