Common Credential Security Risks
Compromised credentials can give cybercriminals access to business accounts and sensitive information. Weak password practices can make that risk even greater.
Weak Passwords
Using personal information such as your name, address, or birth date can make passwords easier for attackers to compromise.
Reused Passwords
Using the same password across multiple accounts can put additional accounts at risk when one set of credentials is compromised.
Generic Passwords
Simple and commonly used passwords can make it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access.
Missing Multi-Factor Authentication
Failing to enable MFA removes an additional layer of protection that can help secure accounts when passwords are compromised.

What does Charles IT monitor on the dark web?
Charles IT scans the dark web for compromised credentials and monitors for instances where your organization’s domain is listed.
How can business credentials end up on the dark web?
Credentials can be compromised through attacks such as phishing, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks and may subsequently appear on the dark web.
What happens if compromised credentials are found?
Charles IT provides proactive notification when your domain is identified on the dark web so affected accounts can be secured by changing passwords and enabling MFA.
Why is password reuse a security risk?
If an employee uses the same password for multiple accounts, compromised credentials could potentially put additional accounts at risk.
