Genetics firm 23andMe says user data stolen in credential stuffing attack

Reply in thread

So they brute forced the login?

No request limiting?

Wtf

Edit: yeah it's just a brute force with less steps. That's fuckn embarrassing "Credential Stuffing is a subset of the brute force attack category. Brute forcing will attempt to try multiple passwords against one or multiple accounts; guessing a password, in other words. Credential Stuffing typically refers to specifically using known (breached) username / password pairs against other websites."

I'll put it simple.

American cops are not equivalent to Canadian cops. US cops use tax payer money to pay lawsuits but are allowed a special police union as well. No other public servants get a union to do their bidding while tax payers foot the bill.

Open the channels. What's there to hide. In emergency events, yes it could be an issue. But people also need to know where serious events might be occurring in their areas.
