**Executive summary:** This blog outlines the growing risk of account takeover driven by exposed credentials—reporting roughly 15 billion credentials in circulation and low-cost cracking/checking tools—and presents four mitigation steps: collect exposed credentials, validate them, contain validated compromises, and educate users; it also recommends monitoring services (e.g., HaveIBeenPwned, ReliaQuest GreyMatter DRP) and technical controls like SSO and MFA.
