Attackers often gain access through routine workflows like email logins, browser sessions, and SaaS integrations. A single stolen credential can give them a quick path to move across systems when access permissions are broad and visibility is fragmented. That pattern appears across more than 750 incident response engagements covered in Unit 42’s Global Incident Response Report 2026. In 87% of cases, attacker activity crossed multiple attack surfaces, meaning investigators had to trace behavior across endpoints, … More → The post One stolen credential is all it takes to compromise everything appeared first on Help Net Security.
