About this event

Malicious bot attacks are becoming more frequent and high profile, with a slew of scalper bot attacks hitting the headlines since 2020, as attackers target in-demand items such as the PlayStation 5 and even Covid-19 vaccine appointments.

According to Netacea’s recent survey, 46% of enterprise organizations experienced an account takeover attack in 2020. 58% of these businesses stated that the attacks had a known financial impact.

Join Matthew Gracey-McMinn and Cyril Noel-Tagoe from Netacea’s Threat Research team for a deep dive into how credential stuffing techniques lead to mass account takeover on some of the world’s busiest websites, mobile apps and APIs.
