The recent credential stuffing attack on PayPal exposed personal data of 34,942 users, highlighting the vulnerability of online security. Credential stuffing is a type of cyber attack where hackers use automated bots to systematically test a list of username and password pairs on various online platforms and services. The attack occurred between December 6th and 8th, 2022 and was initially detected and mitigated by the company's security team. However, personal information such as full names, dates of birth, postal addresses, social security numbers, and individual tax identification numbers were exposed. Users are urged to take proactive measures to protect their personal information and financial details and consider using automated appsec management platform like Threatspy to detect and eliminate injection vulnerabilities before they can cause harm.
