Hackers use automated scripts to test these credentials against high-value targets like the Verizon Login Portal or third-party financial apps.

Multi-Factor Authentication is the single most effective barrier against credential stuffing. Even if a hacker has your password from a list, they cannot bypass the secondary code.
