New credentials are being weaponized faster than ever, while a long tail of older credentials lingers for years, quietly available to attackers while account holders remain unaware. Fast movers get in before detection. Sleepers don't care, they've got time. myNetWatchman tracks both, from first observation to active validation: https://lnkd.in/gGnmw-vP #CredentialExposure #AccountTakeover #FraudPrevention #ThreatIntelligence #IdentityRisk
