The media industry suffered 17 billion credential stuffing attacks between January 2018 and December 2019, according to a report from Akamai.

The report found that 20% of the 88 billion total credential stuffing attacks observed during the reporting period targeted media companies.

Media companies present an attractive target for criminals according to the report, which reveals a 63% year-over-year increase in attacks against the video media sector.

Video sites are not the sole focus of credential stuffing attacks within the media industry, however.

The United States was by far the top source of credential stuffing attacks against media companies with 1.1 billion in 2019, an increase of 162% over 2018.
