Password security has many well-debated weaknesses but one that gets surprisingly little attention is how organisations can know whether and when theirs have been compromised by outsiders. This lack of interest is surprising. Almost all cyberattacks today, including ransomware attacks, exploit stolen or leaked credentials (a password + username), which makes any compromise a critical incident in the making.  The traditional defence is to change them on a schedule basis on the assumption that a compromise is likely at some point, but this has always...
