Your Employee’s Password Appeared in an Infostealer Log. Now What?

Infostealer malware captures more than passwords, including authenticated sessions that can bypass multifactor authentication (MFA). Defenders can assess compromised identities, verify if stolen access remains valid, and take action to prevent account takeover.

Why it matters: Security teams managing employees whose credentials appear in infostealer logs need immediate triage steps to assess whether session tokens are still usable and pose active takeover risk.
