  21. Reconnaissance Weaponization Delivery Exploitation Action FRAUD KILL CHAIN Understanding the

    role of credential stuffing • Identify target website with high account value • Purchase list of stolen credentials on dark web • Build or rent a botnet to automate validation • Build or buy software tools to evade detection ✔ • Purchase compromised account for target site • Use purchased account credentials to login • Perform fraudulent transactions using compromised account OBJECTIVES • Validate list of stolen credentials against login page of target website • Resell validated account credentials on dark web Bot management • Mitigates attack earlier in the kill chain to reduce incidence of downstream fraud SOLUTIONS Fraud prevention • Pros: knows individual users • Cons: high cost, account already compromised

    rotated through 7,894 user agent strings during the last 30 days. A total of 43,808 IP addresses were detected sending potentially malicious requests during the past month. 83%of blocked requests originate from within the US. ©2018 AKAMAI | FASTER FORWARDTM Akamai began protecting Verified Sign-In URL in February. Since DENY mode enabled, total malicious bot traffic is now just 0.2% of total pre-DENY mode bot traffic. Bot Requests 798,000 Human Logins 440,000,000 Averaging more than ~2.5 million daily bot triggers before DENY mode February 9th Bot Manager turned to DENY Averaging fewer than ~6,700 daily bot triggers since DENY mode

  29. CASE STUDY Top 10 global financial services institution As one

    of largest financial asset management companies, this organization sees high bot traffic, including financial aggregators as well as credential stuffing and other fraud-related activities. Result Dramatic reduction in account takeovers to 1-3 per month and fraud-related losses to $1-2k per day—across all login endpoints Solution Behavioral-based bot detections deployed in deny in front of every consumer login endpoint Problem 8,000 account takeovers a month across multiple login endpoints, leading to $100k per day in direct fraud-related losses
