REPORT

2020 Annual Credential Exposure Report

Every year, the SpyCloud Credential Exposure Report examines the data cybercriminals have been sharing over the last year and what it means for enterprises and consumers. Our 2020 report shows that password reuse continues to be a serious problem, leaving enterprises and their customers vulnerable to account takeover (ATO). 

SpyCloud researchers infiltrate criminal networks to identify and recover stolen data months or years before it reaches a broader criminal audience or goes public. As a result, the 9 billion breach records analyzed for this report provide insight into breaches that have been freshly released to criminal marketplaces over the last year.
