Bruteforce

How bruteforcing can impact your IP reputation.

What is this and why are we alerting to it?

Bruteforce attacks are repeated attempts to guess login credentials. Successful bruteforce attacks can give attackers control over organisation’s systems, putting sensitive data at risk.

How do I resolve this?

KYND will alert you if IP addresses in your organisation have been linked to brute force login attempts. Immediate action is needed to secure this IP and enhance authentication mechanisms like multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent future issues. Check your KYND ON account or report for a full list of the affected IPs and further information about the risk.

If you think you have resolved this issue you should use the “We’ve fixed this” button to queue the risk for rescanning.
