Credential Access

Credential Access refers to an attacker’s attempt to obtain sensitive login information, such as usernames and passwords, from a computer system or network. This is often a step in cyberattacks, enabling unauthorized users to gain access to accounts, data, or sensitive resources. Attackers may use techniques like hacking into password storage, phishing, or exploiting vulnerabilities to steal or guess credentials. Securing credentials through strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication helps protect systems from these types of breaches.
