Compromised Identity

• Compromised Account

• Compromised Credential

• Compromised Identity

An identity whose credentials are no longer reliable because they have been exposed. It may or may not have been exploited by an unauthorized entity, or its exploitation status may be unknown. But it is suspected of being exploitable with higher probability because of the exposure of its credentials.

When the password credential of an identity has been leaked, the identity has been compromised. This is independent of the fact that an unauthorized agent has exploited the leaked password to gain unauthorized access to resources.
