Credential Stuffing Is Fully Automated

Attackers use bots to test stolen username-password combinations across thousands of services instantly. No manual hacking required.

Strong Passwords Still Fail When Reused

Even complex passwords lose value if duplicated across systems. Security depends on uniqueness as much as complexity.
