Cybercrime has shifted focus from targeting individual devices to stealing credentials and personal data for identity theft. In 2024, consumer losses due to fraud reached billion, a 25% increase from the previous year, with over a million identity theft reports filed. Stolen passwords and session cookies are central to most breaches, making credential theft the primary enabler of attacks. Password reuse is a significant vulnerability, with 65% of individuals reusing passwords, leading to increased risk of account takeovers through credential stuffing. Bitdefender offers features like Scam Protection Pro, which protects against fraud across email, chat, and SMS, and identity monitoring in Ultimate Security that alerts users to data leaks in real-time. In 2025, researchers identified approximately 2 billion unique leaked credentials, emphasizing the need for identity protection alongside traditional antivirus solutions.
