What is Account Takeover?
Account takeover is when an attacker gains control of a legitimate user account, usually through credential stuffing or phishing, and uses it as their own.
How it works
Once inside, attackers drain balances, change contact details to lock the real user out, and use the account's history and trust to defraud others.
Why it matters for web3
Every takeover is a support incident, a potential chargeback, and a user who may never come back. For your community, that means your allocations stay protected and real holders get a fair experience.
How ValidatorWall detects it
ValidatorWall scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real real holders. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your community.
