Over 3 million Fortune 500 employee accounts compromised since 2022 - Help Net Security

Over three million Fortune 500 employee accounts were compromised between 2022 and 2024, primarily due to infostealer malware and the reuse of corporate email addresses for personal accounts. Industries like banking, utilities, telecommunications, and retailing are particularly vulnerable to cybercrime due to their extensive digital footprints and financial significance. To mitigate these risks, businesses should adopt proactive cybersecurity strategies such as continuous credential screening, zero-trust security models, and employee education.
