Tokens Replace Passwords After Login
Once a user authenticates, session tokens take over. These tokens grant continuous access — often without requiring reauthentication for extended periods.
Stolen Tokens Bypass Security Controls
If attackers extract session cookies via malware or XSS attacks, they inherit authenticated access instantly. MFA has already been satisfied.
Long-Lived Sessions Increase Exposure
Persistent login settings and extended session lifetimes improve user experience — but extend the window for abuse.
Are you tracking agent views on your docs?
AI agents already outnumber human visitors to your docs — now you can track them.
Revoking Passwords Isn’t Enough
When credentials are reset, active sessions may remain valid. Without forced invalidation, attackers stay connected silently.
API Tokens Carry Equal Risk
Service tokens and OAuth grants often remain active for months. If leaked, they provide automated, stealthy access.
Manage Tokens Like Privileged Assets
Shorten session lifetimes, invalidate tokens after anomalies, rotate API credentials, and monitor unusual session activity. Access doesn’t end at login — it continues in the session.
Your ads ran overnight. Nobody was watching. Except Viktor.
One brand built 30+ landing pages through Viktor without a single developer.
Each page mapped to a specific ad group. All deployed within hours. Viktor wrote the code and shipped every one from a Slack message.
That same team has Viktor monitoring ad accounts across the portfolio and posting performance briefs before the day starts. One colleague. Always on. Across every account.
