The market for credential stuffing tools is thriving thanks in large part to an epidemic of breaches of usernames and passwords, researchers say. With one breach, one password could crack open dozens of accounts owned by the same person. Nearly 97 percent of the world s 1,000 largest companies have had corporate credentials exposed, researchers said. Credential stuffing tools include Sentry MBA, Vertex and Account Hitman, according to Digital Shadows. Researchers recommend raising user awareness, monitoring for leaked credentials on services such as the Have I Been Pwned website.
