Account Takeover (ATO): The Cybercrime Targeting Your Accounts As part of #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, we’re continuing to share insights into the most urgent cyber threats.

The problem at a glance 🤖 Account Takeover (ATO) happens when cybercriminals gain unauthorized access to legitimate user accounts, such as email, banking, or business platforms like CRMs. 🤖 Once inside, attackers can execute malicious activities—changing settings, making unauthorized payments, or even launching phishing attacks to compromise further accounts.

Web Scraping: The Hidden Threat Stealing Your Data As part of #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, we’re uncovering the silent dangers lurking behind your web traffic. Today, we're focusing on web scraping bots—automated thieves that quietly siphon your most valuable data: The problem space 📊 After CHEQ's analysts analyzed 34 billion data points, we found that 1 in 5 web visits are fake, with 40% of that traffic originating from scraping bots. 📊 A major ticketing platform is attributing the chaos during a high-profile concert tour to bot interference. 📊 Leading tech companies have faced criticism for utilizing content from news, magazines, and digital media to train their AI models. Behind the threat 🤖 Web scraping refers to bots extracting data from websites, often illegally. As generative AI evolves, these bots are targeting more sensitive information, from pricing and inventory to financial data. 🤖 Beyond the data theft, these bots cause serious operational inefficiencies, overload your systems, and damage your business's reputation.
