90% of login attempts on ecommerce sites come from hackers

Shape Security has released a report on credential spills for 2018, which states that 80% to 90% of all traffic to ecommerce sites come from hackers attempting credential-stuffing attacks.

Credential stuffing is where an attacker uses usernames and passwords obtained in leaks or breaches to take over people’s online accounts. A program is used to automatically try pairs of usernames and passwords through websites or mobile apps.
