2. 16 Billion Credentials Leaked Could Poor Third-Party Risk Management Be the Hidden Culprit?

3. The Breach That Shocked the Industry In June 2025, Cybernews uncovered a massive credential leak affecting some of the world's most trusted names—Apple, Google, and Facebook. These tech giants, bound by strict privacy regulations and equipped with multiple fail-safes, were indirectly compromised. The shocking revelation: 16 billion credentials were exposed across 30 different datasets. Even accounting for 90% overlap, that's still 1.6 billion unique leaks. The breach wasn't a direct attack on these companies. Instead, researchers discovered the leaked data came from end-user devices—specifically through infostealer malware that harvested credentials stored in browsers and applications.

4. The Vendor Vulnerability Gap Unmonitored Endpoints Weak Credentials Vendor systems lacking proper security monitoring and detection capabilities Reused passwords and poor credential hygiene across vendor access points Inadequate Protection Browser Storage Risk Passwords stored in web browsers become easy targets for infostealer malware Missing endpoint detection and anti-malware tools leave systems exposed

5. CISOGenie's 5-Point TPRM Strategy Dependency-Based Risk Scoring Treat vendors for mission-critical systems differently than "nice-to-have" vendors with tailored security requirements On-Need Access Controls Implement zero-trust systems with just-in-time access and continuous session monitoring for all vendor accounts Credential Security Enforcement Prohibit shared credentials, enforce multi-factor authentication, and require password managers across the board Endpoint Security Requirements Mandate EDR, regular patching, and hardened devices for all vendors accessing your systems—antivirus alone isn't enough Breach Impact Containment Establish clear communication channels and the ability to instantly revoke vendor access and terminate all active sessions
