NuData case study: Hybrid account takeover attack at login

Attacks are constantly evolving, and today’s half-human, half-bot attacks are taking cybercrime to a whole new level. In the case study, we dissect a hybrid attack mitigated by the NuData network that mimics human behavior and leverages human workers to bypass bot-detection challenges.

2. Outsource bot challenges
3. Harvest account information
4. Learn, rinse, and repeat
