Eyeonid Inc. launches EyeOnPASS a New Game-Changing Service to Protect Corporations Against Massive Password Attacks


Platform with proprietary database of over 1 billion unique stolen passwords detects and stops cyber attacks against companies in real-time.

REDWOOD CITY, California, Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyeonid Inc. today announced the worldwide launch of EyeOnPASS, a powerful, disruptive technology developed to combat the epidemic of cyber-criminals hijacking online accounts using breached credentials.

A cloud-based API, EyeOnPASS allows customers to continually monitor the passwords being entered by their users, checking them against a database of over 1 billion stolen credentials to determine whether anyone is using, or intending to use potentially dangerous account information.

"Our technology limits the exposure of companies to the global problem of hacking," said CEO Daniel Söderberg. "EyeOnPASS keeps companies a step ahead and protects businesses and their customers from financial and economic losses."

Year on year, data breaches are becoming more frequent – and formidable. Between 2004 and 2017 AOL, TJ Maxx, Heartland, Sony, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Target, eBay, JP Morgan Chase, Yahoo, Myspace, FriendFinder, Equifax, and Anthem were all subject to major hacks. These breaches alone leaked over 3.17 billion breached account credentials onto the Dark Web. What's more, 81% of confirmed breaches in 2016 involved weak or stolen passwords resulting in an average loss of $3.62 million to companies, according to IBM. E-Commerce fraud totaled $48.2 billion in Q1 2017.  

Even the U.S. Federal government is worried. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the United States Department of Commrce, warns organizations to block any subscribers using breached passwords.



"No matter how strong a password may be, once it's been involved in a breach, it is considered burned, and is dangerous to re-use," emphasized Söderberg.

There's another threat lurking just below the surface. Account Takeover Attacks occur when cyber-criminals use stolen credentials, most of which are leaked on to the Dark Web after a data breach, to infiltrate user accounts on other websites. In many cases, these attacks are 100% successful, and the reason is painfully simple – people tend to use the same account credentials across multiple sites.  


Thankfully, there's now a successful way to detect and prevent these devastating attacks before they happen.
