What a Breach Watch alert tells you

Every alert answers three questions in order, so the person reading it knows what to do without calling anyone.

A leaked password rarely stays where it leaked

The breach itself usually happens somewhere else. The risk to your business comes from what staff reuse.

Say your receptionist signed up to an online shop years ago with her work address and the same password she uses for Microsoft 365. The shop is breached, and her address and password land on a list.

Criminals feed lists like that into login pages for email, accounting and banking. If the old password still opens her mailbox, they are inside your business without anyone noticing.

From there they can read invoices, watch who pays whom, and reply to a supplier asking for payment to new bank details. That is business email compromise, and it starts with one reused login.

Knowing early gives you the chance to change that password before someone else tries it.
