Credential Abuse Unmasked

Credential abuse is #1 attack vector in web and API breaches today (Verizon DBIR 2025). Join our live, 15-min attack simulation with Karthik Krishnamoorthy (CTO - Indusface) and Phani Deepak Akella (VP of Marketing - Indusface) to see hackers move from first probe to full account takeover.

Discussion points


Username & email enumeration – how a stray status-code reveals valid accounts.
Password spraying – low-and-slow guesses that evade basic lockouts.
Credential stuffing – lightning-fast reuse of breach combos at scale.
MFA / session-token bypass – sliding past second factors with stolen cookies.
