Abstract
A device may receive network traffic information, associated with multiple transactions, that indicates, for each transaction of the multiple transactions, a credential and a source device identifier associated with the transaction. The device may determine, based on the network traffic information, a quantity of times that a common credential was used in two transactions occurring at different times and originating from different source devices. The device may provide information that identifies the quantity of times and the different source devices. The device may determine whether to block network traffic associated with a source device, of the different source devices, based on the quantity of times and/or user input received based on providing the information that identifies the quantity of times and the different source devices. The device may selectively provide an instruction to block the network traffic associated with the source device based on this determination.
