200K North Face Customers Lose Data in a Breach

A credential stuffing attack cost outdoor apparel company The North Face the data of 194,905 customers. As DataDome’s Head of Research Antoine Vastel explains, the process is cheap and automated.

“Hackers can get started with credential stuffing attacks by investing as little as $500 in credential stuffing software, access to email and password combo lists, and the use of both public and private proxy services to distribute their attack across thousands of IP addresses to bypass traditional rate limiting techniques,” Vastel told Cybernews.
