This is a subset of the brute force attack category: large numbers of spilled credentials are automatically entered into websites until they are potentially matched to an existing account, which the attacker can then hijack for their own purposes.
Devs should really do something to security such as:
Changing password or email should be made impossible without confirmation from current mail.
Also somekind of "maxium of 5 logon attempts in x amount of time". Maybe even
CAPTCHAS. Of course some may say that captchas are not helping, because theres lot of services that will solve them for few pennies. But some captcha is better than no captcha. It would perhaps reduce the amount of attempts. Maybe re captcha could be required on each logon attempt. In my user side experience they arent much of a hassle. Of course something like that would have to be implemented in client as well..
Captchas would atleast make people feel a bit safer.
