Introducing Credential Monitoring

Imagine discovering that your company's login credentials are sitting in plain sight on the internet, accessible to anyone who knows where to look. Unfortunately, this isn't hypothetical – it's happening right now to organizations worldwide through malware-stolen credentials.

The Hidden Threat: Malware-Stolen Credentials

Every day, cybercriminals deploy malicious software that quietly steals passwords from infected computers. These "stealer" programs harvest credentials from browsers and applications, then bundle this data into logs that often end up publicly accessible on the internet. Your employees' devices can become unknowing sources of your organization's most sensitive access credentials.

Real-World Impact: When Leaked Credentials Turn Into Disasters

Healthcare Under Attack: The 2023 MOVEit Transfer attacks affected multiple healthcare organizations, with initial access often gained through compromised credentials (CISA Advisory). According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, healthcare breaches cost an average of $11.05 million per incident, with many traced back to credential-based attacks.

Financial Sector Breaches: The 2022 Lapsus$ group attacks on major financial institutions began with stolen employee credentials obtained from malware infections (Microsoft Security). These incidents resulted in unauthorized access to customer accounts and significant regulatory penalties.

Manufacturing Shutdowns: The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, which disrupted fuel supplies across the Eastern United States, began with a single compromised password. The six-day shutdown cost the company millions and affected millions of consumers.

Small Business Devastation: According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 86% of breaches at small businesses involve stolen or weak credentials, with many companies never recovering from the financial and reputational damage.

Infostealers Evolve Quickly: In 2025, infostealers can turn stolen logins and session cookies into turnkey initial access. Ankura’s JD Supra piece (Aug 19, 2025) stresses that modern stealers quietly harvest credentials and session cookies, which can bypass MFA via session hijacking.

Why Organizations Need Credential Monitoring

Your organization faces this threat because employee devices get infected and people reuse passwords across personal and work accounts. Remote work further increases risk by expanding access from unmanaged devices and unsecured networks.

The stakes are high: regulatory fines, lost customer trust, business disruption, and financial damage. The faster you identify exposed credentials, the better you can protect your organization.
