New York AG Warns 17 Firms of Credential Attacks
2022-01-12 18:11

New York Attorney General Letitia James reported 1.1 million credentials tied to 17 "Well known" state businesses were compromised in recent cyberattacks.

According to the alert, many of the firms were unaware that that their customer's passwords had been compromised.

The management of credentials, according to James, needs to be a central focus in thwarting so-called credential stuffing attacks.

Often for companies, credential stuffing and password management is perceived as a company-specific issue.
