How do bots facilitate account takeover attacks, and what defenses can prevent these breaches?
Bots can facilitate account takeover attacks by using automated tools to try numerous username and password combinations until they successfully gain access to an account. They can also exploit vulnerabilities in websites or apps to steal login credentials. Defenses against these breaches include implementing multi-factor authentication, monitoring for unusual account activity, using strong and unique passwords, regularly updating software to patch vulnerabilities, and employing CAPTCHA or other challenges to verify human users.
