Case Study: UBALDI.com achieves protection from brute-force attacks and price scraping with DataDome

UBALDI.com Blocks Brute Force Attacks with DataDome

UBALDI.com, an online retailer offering over 100,000 home products, was facing large-scale bot problems: brute force attacks on its login endpoint testing email/password combinations and heavy scraping of prices and product data that consumed server resources (undesirable bots had represented almost 50% of traffic). After evaluating options and testing for low false positives and minimal customer friction, UBALDI.com selected DataDome and its bot protection solution to address these threats.

DataDome was deployed to detect and neutralize brute force attempts and block scraper bots while preserving the human shopping experience, avoiding CAPTCHAs for legitimate users. As a result, attacks are filtered before reaching UBALDI’s servers, scrapers quickly abandon attempts, server resource consumption has been significantly reduced, and the DataDome dashboard now gives UBALDI full visibility into traffic—improving performance and availability during peak events.
