Before public cloud services, computing infrastructure was expensive, hosted on-premises, and reserved for big enterprises and universities. Now, anyone with a credit card can access an unlimited supply of cloud apps and computing power. While cloud services offer many benefits, the accessibility of the cloud has also made identity attacks targeting passwords much more popular. The frequency of these attacks have increased sharply over the last few years, and as more services move online and the value of data grows, identity attacks will become even more popular. How are hackers targeting passwords? Hackers have a variety of techniques at their disposal. Exploiting vulnerabilities in software or deceiving users through social engineering are two common tactics, but brute-force attacks are gaining ground as automated bots. In fact, a recent report from Akamai indicates that “more than 40% of global login attempts are malicious, thanks to bot-driven credential stuffing attacks." This increases.
