Account Takeover Protection Stop fraud before it starts.

Account takeover (ATO) happens when someone gains unauthorized access to a user’s account using stolen credentials. Once inside, attackers can steal data, commit fraud, or use the account to commit further abuse. Often before anyone notices.

Most ATO attacks come from credential stuffing, phishing, malware, or leaked password databases. Attackers test stolen logins at scale until they find a match, then hijack the account.

Common signals include unusual login locations, rapid login attempts, mismatched devices, IPs tied to bots or proxies, and sudden behavior changes after login.

ATO prevention is about stopping bad actors before they get in. Tools like Anura use use advanced algorithms, traffic analysis, and threat intelligence to detect suspicious login behavior, block credential abuse, and prevent unauthorized access before damage is done.

Detection spots signs that an account takeover attack may be happening or has already happened. Prevention goes a step further by blocking unauthorized access in real time, stopping fraud before it starts. Anura does both, so you are covered from the first red flag to the final block.

Stolen credentials, multi-factor authentication, fatigue attacks, and social engineering can bypass traditional authentication. That’s why layered account takeover protection is critical.
