Hope this isn’t a repeated submission. Funny how they’re trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

    If the accounts were logged into from geographically similar locations at normal volumes then it wouldn’t look too out of the ordinary.

    I mean, device fingerprinting is used for this purpose. Then there is the geographic pattern, the IP reputation etc. Any difference -> ask MFA.

    It’s so difficult that most companies tend to just defer to large players like Google and Microsoft to do this for them.

    Cloudflare, Imperva, Akamai I believe all offer these services. These are some of the players who can help against this type of attack, plus of course in-house tools. If you decide to collect sensitive data, you should also provide appropriate security. If you don’t want to pay for services, force MFA at every login.
