Gotta be password cracking, right? All those failed attempts sound like a good old-fashioned brute force attack to me. Hackers these days, they really put the 'cracking' in 'password cracking'.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be password spraying. What do you guys think?

I'm going with D. Credential stuffing. It's like a hacker's version of 'spaghetti against the wall' - throw a bunch of creds and see what sticks.

Hmm, I'd say it's credential stuffing. Those breached credentials are being used to test the login form - no guesswork involved.

C'mon, this is a no-brainer. Password spraying is the obvious choice here. All those failed attempts using different creds? That's a textbook case.

Yeah, credential stuffing wouldn't involve trying different usernames and passwords like that.
