The 2026 Identity Breach Report: Industrialized Identity Risk

Adversaries have transitioned from Generative AI to Agentic AI, weaponizing a 1-trillion-attribute footprint to execute autonomous, multi-channel impersonation at machine speed. The 2026 Identity Breach Report analyzes this fundamental shift toward high-density intelligence and automated exploitation.

Key Insights:

• Agentic AI Evolution: Adversaries now use autonomous agents to plan and execute complex identity attacks.

• Industrialized Exploitation: A 661% surge in Hacked-Leaked breaches means 95% of records are ready for immediate use.

• Identity Density: Record growth (135%) far outpaces unique email growth (11%), making individuals more “attackable” through attribute correlation.

• Leadership Risks: Synthesis of professional and personal PII enables rapid, multi-channel impersonation of executives.

• The Plaintext Problem: With 68.89% of credentials exposed in plaintext via infostealers, legacy hashing is no longer a primary defense.
