Credential stuffing is a cyberattack method where attackers use automated tools to attempt large-scale logins using stolen username and password pairs. This technique exploits the common practice of password reuse across multiple sites, allowing unauthorized access to user accounts. Challenges Protection Strategies

Man-in-the-Middle attacks occur when an attacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters the communication between two parties, making them believe they are directly communicating with each other. This type of attack can lead to data theft, unauthorized transactions, and exposure of sensitive information. Challenges Protection Strategies
