In 2024, credential stuffing attacks surged, largely due to rampant infostealer infections and widespread data breaches. Stolen credentials became the primary tool for cybercriminals, accounting for 80% of web application attacks, driven by easy access to billions of compromised accounts sold cheaply on the dark web. High-profile incidents heightened the visibility of this crime, while the introduction of Computer-Using Agents poses a new threat by enabling automated attacks with low effort. As organizations shift to decentralized SaaS environments, attackers are likely to exploit the fragmentation of identities, challenging traditional security measures.
Credential stuffing attacks reached unprecedented heights in 2024, largely driven by infostealers and data breaches, igniting a surge in stolen credentials and web app compromises.
In 2024, stolen credentials emerged as the primary vector for unauthorized access, representing 80% of web application attacks due to the availability of billions of compromised accounts.
The emergence of Computer-Using Agents signals an alarming evolution in credential stuffing tactics, allowing attackers to automate web tasks with minimal effort and cost.
As organizations increasingly adopt SaaS solutions, the decentralization of user identities complicates credential attack strategies, pushing criminals to adapt to a more fragmented digital ecosystem.
