Credential stuffing
An attack that mass-tests passwords stolen elsewhere to open your other accounts.
The criminal collects credentials from old leaks and tries them automatically on dozens of sites. It works because many people reuse the same password everywhere. The defence: a different password for each site plus two-factor authentication.
