What Is Account Takeover Fraud? A Comprehensive Guide | Huntress

Account takeover fraud occurs when attackers steal login credentials to gain unauthorized access to accounts.

Organizations need to understand the attack mechanisms and implement protective measures to mitigate risk.

Why it matters: Security practitioners must understand account takeover fraud to protect user accounts and organizational assets, as compromised credentials enable attackers to access sensitive data, conduct lateral movement, or establish persistence in systems.
