Incident Types and Response Guidance

Credential Leak

Employee credentials found in a breach database or stealer log.

Immediate actions:

  1. Identify the affected account(s)
  2. Force a password reset for the affected user
  3. Check for reuse — verify the same password isn't used on other systems
  4. Review login logs for unauthorized access using the exposed credential
  5. Notify the affected employee

Data Breach Mention

Your organization's data referenced in a breach announcement or being sold.

Immediate actions:

  1. Assess the scope — what data was involved
  2. Initiate your data breach response procedure
  3. Engage legal and compliance teams if PII is involved
  4. Notify affected customers if required by regulation

Ransomware Listing

Your organization named on a ransomware group's leak site.

Immediate actions:

  1. Activate your incident response plan immediately
  2. Engage your security team and executive leadership
  3. Preserve all evidence — do not power off systems until forensics are conducted
  4. Contact law enforcement if appropriate

Access Sale (Initial Access Broker)

Credentials or network access to your infrastructure listed for sale.

Immediate actions:

  1. Treat as a confirmed compromise until proven otherwise
  2. Force-rotate credentials for all accounts matching the listed access type
  3. Review authentication logs for the affected systems
  4. Engage your IR team or a third-party forensics provider
