## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect Account Take Over (ATO) through credential stuffing attack.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

**To determine a successful attempt:** Detect a high number of failed logins from at least ten unique users and at least one successful login for a user. This generates a `HIGH` severity signal.

**To determine an unsuccessful attempt:** Detect a high number of failed logins from at least ten unique users. This generates an `INFO` severity signal.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Inspect the logs to see if this was a valid login attempt.
1. See if 2FA was authenticated
1. If the user was compromised, rotate user credentials.
