Employee risk and exposure was measured in a recent report by SpyCloud. The research found 27.48 million pairs of credentials with Fortune 1000 corporate email addresses and plaintext passwords, with over 223,000 exfiltrated by malware, specifically enabling access to cloud-based applications, including popular enterprise email, single sign-on (SSO), payroll management, hosting and collaboration tools.
Researchers also observed a 62% password reuse rate among Fortune 1000 employees who have been exposed more than once. The report additionally identified nearly 31 million malware-infected consumers of Fortune 1000 companies.
