Distributed login attacks threaten banking verification

A 'Failed Login Attempt' refers to the unsuccessful login efforts made by a user, which are tracked by a system to enhance security. After a specified number of failed attempts, the user's account is automatically locked to prevent unauthorized access.

What you're currently experiencing might be hackers using automated scripts to try and obtain your password. They can do this merely with your account name, and it has nothing to do with whether you've activated a mobile authenticator, which adds an extra layer of protection for you. Please understand that hacking attempts occur constantly worldwide, and we can only enhance the security of our accounts. You can temporarily revoke the login permissions for your current account, which can effectively deter intruders who already know your account name.

Credential stuffing accounted for up to 44% of all login attempts in a single day for certain organizations. 80% of identity breaches involved compromised non-human identities such as service accounts and API keys.

TL;DR: Brute force attacks still succeed because weak passwords, credential reuse, password spraying, and authentication blind spots let automated log...

These techniques also require more work on the attacker’s part, which gives you more opportunity to detect the attack and maybe even identify the attacker. Although brute-force attacks are difficult to stop completely, they are easy to detect ...

If login attempts are not properly monitored, limited, and protected by layered controls, automated brute-force attacks can occur at scale. In a traditional brute-force scenario, attackers repeatedly attempt password combinations until one succeeds.

Very often these automated hacking attempts are hackers exploiting data they found somewhere else. Perhaps a different account or service has been hacked, and they’re trying the password they found there at every other account they can think ...

The distributed nature of large botnets enables threat actors to conduct high-volume password spraying attacks, where each compromised device plays a role in testing stolen credentials. This strategy minimizes detection risk and challenges traditional security controls due to the sheer volume of login attempts...

I doubt either of those is the case. Unless you are talking about thousands of logins in the space of a second, you're probably no where near DoS levels. Also, modern hashing/encryption methods are effectively immune to attempts to discover ...
