Automated Account Creation Slips Past Identity Checks
Attackers use scripts to create user accounts in internal systems or SaaS platforms. These fake users bypass weak onboarding workflows. Without validation steps, bots look human.
Bots Sit Idle Until Activated
Malicious accounts are created weeks or months in advance. Once activated, they act quickly — downloading data, accessing systems, or escalating privileges. Dormancy hides intent.
Internal Test Accounts Become Permanent Backdoors
Developers and QA teams create test users that are never deleted. These accounts often have admin or bypass rights. Forgotten credentials become unmonitored access points.

No One Monitors for Account Creation Anomalies
Spikes in account registrations, duplicate names, or odd domain use go unnoticed. Security focuses on logins — not account creation. The entry point is often overlooked.
Bots Masquerade as Contractors or Vendors
Accounts labeled “contractor” or “vendor” receive broad access with limited oversight. Attackers exploit this category to hide automation. These accounts operate with low scrutiny.
Most User Audits Focus on Activity, Not Validity
IAM audits often ask “what did users do?” — not “should they exist?” Fake users pass activity checks by doing little. The real risk is in accounts that don’t belong at all.
