Abstract
A computer-implemented apparatus and related method prevent credential attacks. The method receives authentication transactions (ATs) comprising AT features (ATFs). The method then performs clustering, to produce clustered ATFs (CATFs) from the ATFs utilizing rule-based clustering. The clustering may operate by assigning user credentials: 1) from a same source IP to a common CATF; 2) targeting a same username to a common CATF; and/or with a same password to a common CATF. Upon determining a CATF is malicious, the method may classify the CATFs as malicious, and otherwise, classify the CATF as non-malicious. The method may further block an activity using a feature included in a malicious CATF.
