Account compromise of “unprecedented scale” uses everyday home devices

Okta has issued a warning about an ongoing campaign that uses fraudulent login requests to conceal malicious activity. The campaign involves routing login attempts through the mobile devices and browsers of everyday users, making it difficult to identify and combat the attacks. The attackers use various techniques, including the TOR network and proxy services, to mask their IP addresses. They then use these devices in credential-stuffing attacks, trying to gain unauthorized access to online accounts by using login credentials obtained from previous breaches. Okta advises users to be cautious when installing apps or enrolling in services and provides guidance for network administrators to protect against credential-stuffing attacks.
