Overview Account credentials from some of the largest cybersecurity vendors can be found on the dark web, a result of the growing problem of infostealers, according to an analysis of Cyble threat intelligence data. The credentials available for as little as 10 in cybercrime marketplaces span internal accounts and customer access across web and cloud environments, including internal security company enterprise and development environments that could pose substantial risks. The accounts ideally would have been protected by multifactor authentication MFA, which would have made any attack more difficult. However, the leaked credentials underscore the importance of dark web monitoring as an early warning system for keeping such leaks from becoming much bigger cyberattacks. Leak...π Read more.
