What is Account Takeover?

Account Takeover (ATO) happens when attackers gain unauthorized access to user accounts through stolen credentials, phishing, or malware.

How is this possible?

  • Stolen Credentials: Attackers use stolen username/password combinations from data breaches to access accounts.
  • Weak Passwords: Many users reuse passwords across multiple sites, making them vulnerable.
  • Vulnerable Login Forms: Attackers exploit login forms to automate credential stuffing attacks.

Why It's a Big Deal

ATO can lead to financial fraud, data theft, and trust erosion. Stopping it at the source - login and authentication - is key.
