Data breaches and their immediate impact on the organization are widely publicized. But what happens after the breach, especially with the breached credentials such as usernames and passwords? The breached credentials are often sold in the black market or leveraged by the attacker to attack the same or other organizations. This leads to credential stuffing attacks, where the stolen credentials are reused on different websites.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a web page viewed by other users, usually in a script. When other users view the compromised page, the injected code can execute and steal sensitive information or perform malicious actions on their behalf. This attack typically targets web applications that allow user-generated content or input, such as message boards, comment sections, or search boxes.
