                 Akamai has come out recently and stated that cyber-criminals have orchestrated over 3.5 billion credential stuffing attacks, in the last 18 months. What is worse, they stated, is that half of the attacks targeted the financial sectors. 
   
        Akamai stated there has been a growth in cred-stuffing attacks, alongside a spike in phishing. All of these have targeted consumers, and have come together to create this economy that serves to target and attack financial sectors and the consumers that reside within it. 

       Its odd, because cyber-criminals are targeting the very institution they need to survive. They have also shown that old trucks still run, and these old beaters are being utilized.
