🚨 How DataDome Protected a Cashback Website from an Aggressive Credential Stuffing Attack 🚨 Earlier this year, for fifteen total hours, a credential stuffing attack targeted the login endpoint of a cashback website. Over the length of the attack, the attacker used more than 16,600 IP addresses in different countries. Attack indicators of the compromise included: → The attacker used a single user-agent. → The attacker used data-center IP addresses rather than residential proxies. → Every bot used the same accept-language. → The attacker made requests using only one URL: login. → Bots didn’t include the DataDome cookie on any request. Our multi-layered detection approach successfully blocked the attack using various independent signal categories. This ensures that even if the attacker had altered parts of the bot—such as its fingerprint or behavior—it would likely have been detected through other signals and methods. The primary detection signal in this case was an inconsistency in server-side fingerprinting. The attack's server-side fingerprint hash was unique, with the accept-encoding header being malformed due to missing spaces between values. Learn more about the attack here: https://lnkd.in/eGDpcWCn
