Identity breach teardowns

Real identity-driven incidents, broken down for practitioners: what happened, the root cause, the lesson, and how to defend against the same pattern. Most modern breaches are not clever exploits. Attackers log in with stolen credentials, abuse weak recovery, or ride a stolen session. These teardowns show how, and what stops it.
