Firstly, ReACT’s user enumeration prevention feature has been designed to prevent attackers from discovering valid user accounts through enumeration techniques. Normally, ReACT would notify users if a ReACT ID was invalid. This new feature gives no definitive information on the validity of IDs, ensuring that attackers cannot exploit ReACT to gather information about user accounts.

Closely linked to this feature is rate limiting. To mitigate attackers guessing valid usernames and abusing ReACT’s portals, rate limits have been introduced. This feature allows organizations to control and restrict the number of login attempts within a time frame. This rate limiting will prevent brute-force attacks and unauthorized access, further reducing the risk of security breaches.
