A new report from Okta has found that credential stuffing as a means of breaching Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) services is accelerating, fuelled by password reuse coupled with malicious bots and other automated tools.
The State of Secure Identity 2022 report, which is based on self-reported data from customers of Okta’s AuthO access management platform across the globe, found that 34% of all traffic across Auth0 network consists of credential stuffing attempts—amounting to nearly 10 billion attempts. In the first quarter of 2022, the Auth0 network tracked two of the largest credential stuffing spikes ever on the platform, with more than 300 million attempts per day.
