+		<solution>Phase: Architecture and Design
+To mitigate the risk of brute force attacks on credit card information, follow these best practices:
+
+* CAPTCHA Protection: Implement CAPTCHA challenges during the payment process to differentiate between human and automated attempts. CAPTCHAs can help prevent automated brute force attacks.
+* Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting on payment attempts. Limit the number of requests from a single IP address or user account within a specific time frame.
+* Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Require multi-factor authentication for sensitive transactions, including online payments. MFA adds an extra layer of security by verifying the user's identity through multiple factors, making brute force attacks more difficult.
+* Secure Data Storage: Ensure that credit card information is securely stored and encrypted. Limit access to sensitive data to authorized personnel only.
+* Continuous Monitoring: Implement continuous monitoring to detect and respond to suspicious activities, including multiple failed payment attempts.
+* Compliance with PCI DSS: If your application processes credit card information, ensure compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, which provide security guidelines for handling credit card data.
+
+Phase: Implementation
+Implement the above security measures in your application code, payment processing, and user account management functionalities.
+
+Phase: Operation
+Regularly monitor and review your security measures and adapt to evolving threats and attack patterns.
