VP of Product at Fingerprint, building the world's largest device intelligence platform to fight fraud and improve user experience
Yesterday, Infosecurity Magazine reported that there are 70,000 password reset attacks in the UK every week. The researchers believe that the increasing use of #bots is driving the rise, with bot-based password reset attacks up 1680%. Unfortunately, the article goes on to say that "multi-factor authentication helps, but not if it can be disabled easily as part of the reset process". Shameless plug: Device fingerprinting and bot detection from providers like Fingerprint can help.
