    This doesn’t absolve them of anything. If you see thousands of accounts being individually logged in from the same block of IP addresses, and those users have never logged in from there before. That should raise red flags. No, Fred from California shouldn’t be logging in from a vpn based out of Ireland right after Anne from NY logged in from that same VPN from Ireland.

    Users are dumb. This is why there’s tools to track odd behavior and clamp down on it.
