Digital identity theft is becoming more complicated
Biometric Update
Digital identity is becoming a common target for cybercriminals who are hacking their way into organizations or leaking identity credentials for financial gain. But the story is not that simple: When it comes to securing digital identity, organizations are faced with many questions, including what makes a security threat and whether non-human identities, such as AI agents, deserve the same concern.
As of July, there has been an increase of more than 160 percent in leaked credentials compared to 2024, data from cybersecurity company Cyberint shows. The increase could be due to several factors, including the rising use of AI, more sophisticated phishing and malware.
The company also says that it takes 94 days on average for businesses to revoke or disable affected accounts.
“This suggests that businesses struggle to identify leaked login information quickly, giving threat actors plenty of time to take advantage of it,” Cyberint says in a report.
