OpenBullet Config and 2FA Bypass Script Targeting Shaklee’s US Platform

A threat actor on a prominent dark web forum is advertising an OpenBullet configuration file and two-factor authentication (2FA) bypass script designed to target US[.]SHAKLEE[.]COM, the e-commerce portal of multinational health and wellness corporation Shaklee.

The $130 toolkit, which combines brute-force automation with advanced session hijacking capabilities, underscores the evolving sophistication of credential-stuffing campaigns against enterprise targets.

Technical Breakdown of the Attack Toolkit

The OpenBullet configuration file leverages the tool’s Selenium and Puppeteer integration to automate HTTP requests against Shaklee’s login endpoints while evading IP-based rate-limiting defenses.

According to listings analyzed by cybersecurity researchers, the config employs a multi-stage workflow:

1. Credential Stuffing: The script iterates through stolen username-password pairs, likely sourced from previous breaches, to identify valid accounts.
2. CAPTCHA Bypass: Integrated with third-party solving services like Anti-Captcha, the config automatically resolves reCAPTCHA challenges during login attempts.
3. 2FA Exploitation: Upon successful credential validation, the companion 2FA bypass module intercepts session cookies or brute-forces time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) using techniques documented in PortSwigger’s Web Security Academy labs.

Kasada’s threat intelligence team recently identified similar campaigns where malicious OpenBullet configurations injected Remote Access Trojans (RATs) during the attack chain, though no payload delivery mechanisms are confirmed in this listing.

Implications for Shaklee and Consumers

Shaklee’s platform hosts sensitive customer data, including payment details, supplement subscriptions, and health-related purchase histories.

A successful mass account takeover (ATO) could enable:

• Fraudulent orders using stored payment methods.
• Identity theft via exposed personal information.
• Phishing infrastructure leveraging compromised accounts to distribute malicious links.

The $130 price point suggests the actor is prioritizing accessibility over exclusivity, potentially enabling low-skilled attackers (“script kiddies”) to launch campaigns.

This aligns with trends observed by Cybersixgill, where OpenBullet’s ease of use has democratized large-scale credential-stuffing operations since 2020.

Mitigation Strategies and Industry Response

Security experts recommend layered defenses to counter such threats:

1. Behavioral Analysis: Deploy AI-driven tools to detect automation patterns, such as unnatural mouse movements or rapid form submissions.
2. 2FA Hardening: Replace SMS-based codes with FIDO2/WebAuthn protocols, which are resistant to session hijacking and brute-force attacks.
3. Credential Monitoring: Cross-reference login attempts against databases of breached credentials using services like Have I Been Pwned.

Notably, Shaklee’s login flow currently lacks visible brute-force protections like incremental delays or account lockouts, based on analysis of public endpoints.

This absence of friction could allow attackers to cycle through credentials unimpeded.

Legal and Regulatory Considerations

The FTC’s updated Safeguards Rule requires companies handling consumer health data to implement “reasonable” security measures, including multi-factor authentication and encryption.

Failure to mitigate known attack vectors like credential stuffing could expose Shaklee to regulatory action under Section 5 of the FTC Act.

This incident highlights the weaponization of open-source tools like OpenBullet in modern cybercrime ecosystems.

As dual-use technologies lower the barrier to entry for attackers, enterprises must adopt proactive threat-hunting frameworks rather than reactive security postures.

For Shaklee, immediate steps should include auditing authentication logs for suspicious patterns and implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block known malicious IPs associated with OpenBullet campaigns.
