Automated FusionAuth Failed Login Spike Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun checks FusionAuth for failed login attempts across applications, posts a Telegram alert when the failure rate spikes well above normal, and texts the security lead when the pattern looks like many accounts being targeted at once, so a credential attack gets noticed quickly.
How do I get alerted to a spike in failed FusionAuth logins?
WebRun checks FusionAuth every few minutes for failed login attempts, posting a Telegram alert whenever the failure rate spikes above its normal baseline. When failures are spread across many accounts at once, a pattern consistent with credential stuffing, it also texts the security lead directly, so a real attack gets noticed within minutes instead of during a weekly review.
- A login spike gets flagged within minutes of starting
- A likely credential attack reaches the security lead directly
- Normal login noise does not trigger unnecessary alerts

- Compare the failure rate against its normal baseline
- Check whether failures are spread across many different accounts, which suggests credential stuffing
Done when The current failed login rate is recorded along with whether it looks like a spread attack pattern.

Telegram - post the spike alert

3
Twilio - text security on a likely attack pattern
twilio.com
WebRun opens Twilio to text security on a likely attack pattern. - Send a text to the security lead only when many different accounts are being targeted at once

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will WebRun lock accounts or block IP addresses?
No. It only detects and reports the spike. Locking accounts, blocking traffic, or changing any security setting stays a decision made by your security team in FusionAuth.
How does it tell a spike from normal traffic?
It compares the current failed login rate against its own recent baseline for that application, so normal daily variation does not trigger a false alarm.
What makes it text instead of just posting to Telegram?
Only a pattern spread across many different accounts, which looks more like a coordinated attack than one user forgetting a password, triggers the direct text to the security lead.
