BBC talks with Shape Security CTO Shuman Ghosemajumder to dig deeper into the data behind cybercrime.
“Credential stuffing attacks burden an IT, security, fraud, and customer service department in different ways.”
“Credential stuffing is when hackers fill a database with as many passwords and usernames they can find and feed them into an automated hackers’ tool that pounds away at a specified website.”
“It is statistically proven that an average of about 90% of all login attempts upon e-commerce websites are aimed at credential stuffing.”
“Selling stolen personal data is a big business for hackers. Somewhere on the dark web, your e-mail address and a few passwords are probably for sale.”
“At least 15 separate security breaches occurred at retailers from January 2017 until now. Many of them were caused by flaws in payment systems, either online or in stores.”

“In 2017, some 2.3 billion account credentials were stolen because of 51 independent credential spill incidents.”
“Go to your Amazon, Zappos, etc. account now and change the password to something stronger. That’s the takeaway from a cyber security firm’s report that says a whopping 91 percent of all attempts to log into e-commerce websites are from hackers.”
“Over two billion credentials were stolen in 2017 and contributed to the complex problem of credential spills, credential stuffing and account takeover fraud.”

“The criminals that go into your Amazon account and buy stuff are typically not the guys who stole your password. They're at the end of a long chain of bad guys.”
“Shape Security’s report found that an average of 15 months elapsed between the day credentials were compromised and the day the spill was reported by an organization. This is the most dangerous window of time...”
“Web forums were the greatest targets for credential spills during 2017, which saw more than 2.3 billion credentials from 51 different organizations reportedly stolen, according to a new report from Shape Security.”
“Shape Security's 2018 Credential Spill Report reveals the severity of data breaches and offers insight to the lifespan of stolen information.”
“Online retailers are hit the most by these attacks, according to a report by cyber security firm Shape Security. Hackers use programs to apply stolen data in a flood of login attempts, called credential stuffing.”
“A new study by cyber security firm Shape Security found that more than 90% of the login traffic of online retailers actually comes from hackers using stolen login data.”
“Fingerprinting is just little bits of data that lead up to something specific,” says Jarrod Overson, the director of engineering at Shape Security, a cybersecurity company. “And it gets to be problematic when those data bits end up leading to individual people.”
“GDPR’s effects will reach far beyond consumer privacy. Companies seeking to avoid the regulation’s stiff penalties will soon see—if they haven’t already—that security is the core issue.”
“When Under Armour reports that potentially tens of millions of users have had their usernames and passwords stolen, this has a much bigger long-term effect on users' security on other online accounts, due to most peoples' habits of reusing the same passwords.”
“Credential stuffing is rampant – so try not to reuse the same password on every site, eh?”
“Those who use the same combination of email address and password across multiple online services are likely to fall victim to this type of attack.”
“On average, 90% of all login attempts at ecommerce sites are credential-stuffing attacks. Around 60% of attempts at airlines and consumer banks are attacks, while 44% of attempts hotels see are attempts to take over accounts.”
“Obwohl es 2017 weniger Fälle geleakter Zugangsdaten gab, blüht der Handel mit E-Mail-Adressen und Passwörtern wie eh und je. Das funktioniert auch deswegen so gut, weil Nutzer noch immer ein und dasselbe Passwort für verschiedene Konten verwenden.”
“Sur le darknet, on trouve de tout et surtout des données d'identification. Et les hackers s'en servent pour se remplir les poches. Un conseil, variez vos mots de passe.”
“Shape Securityがこのほど、「2018 Credential Spill Report｜Shape Security」において、年に1回公開している情報漏洩に関するデータをまとめた報告書の2018年版となる「2018 Credential Spill Report」の公開を伝えた。同社がCredential Spill Reportを公開するのは、今回で2017年版に続き2回目となる。”
“另一調研機構 Shape Security 則指出，統計全球 2017 年電商網站的「登入流量」中，亦有高達 91% 是來自駭客們的攻擊，而不是消費者的實際行為。零售電商網站因業務性質，儲存了大批會員的個資、購買行為，甚至有信用卡號等敏感資料，成為駭客特別愛攻擊的目標。”
