Abstract
Suspicious credential changes are automatically detected and mitigated. A comparison of data surrounding user-account credential changes with suspicious change patterns forms a basis for detecting suspicious credential changes. More particularly, if a credential change substantially matches a known suspicious change pattern, the credential change can be flagged as suspicious. After a credential change is determined to be suspicious, one or more mitigation activities can be triggered to allay adverse effects associated with a suspicious credential change.
