Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods that may generate so-called “honey credentials” that are transmitted to a “phishing” website, and are then stored into a honey credential database. The honey credentials appear to be valid credentials, but whenever a bad actor attempts to access an enterprise using the honey credentials, security appliances the enterprise may update the records of the honey credential database to include one or more unique identifiers for each bad actor device that attempts to access the enterprise network using the honey credentials. A server may automatically query the honey credential database to identify other accounts that have been accessed by devices that used the honey credentials to access the enterprise. The server may then flag the accounts and restrict their functionality.
