Eliminate the exposed data that fuels credential harvesting, password cracking, password reset fraud, and account takeover.

Leverage the most advanced personal data removal tech in the world

Prevent attackers from using employee information to bypass identity verification.

Continuously minimize the personal-data attack surface behind credential compromise.

The Threat Landscape

Credential theft and account takeover continue to be major drivers of compromise across industries. Infostealers delivered through phishing have become one of the primary sources of compromised credentials, with IBM reporting an 84% increase in 2024 and an early-2025 surge of 180% over 2023. IBM notes that nearly one-third of observed attacks involved the use of valid accounts (IBM X-Force 2025 Threat Intelligence Index). Verizon’s 2025 DBIR adds that 32% of breaches involved credential abuse, making it the largest breach pattern in that dataset.

These attacks are powered by exposed employee and executive data on data broker and people search sites, and multiple threat actors have been documented using these sites.

Threat actors use this data to:

Match exposed PII with leaked passwords, hashes, and hints
Reset accounts by passing identity verification checks
Bypass MFA using SIM swap, help-desk social engineering, or recovery workflows
Target privileged and long-tenured employees for high-impact account compromise

Optery finds and removes the exposed data attackers need to compromise accounts more comprehensively than any other service.

Real-World Results

“We were particularly interested in protecting our long-term employees who have had the same email for many years and also our senior executives who have exposure through press releases and other public channels. I’ve seen my spam emails decrease by about 50%, and spam phone calls have significantly reduced as well. Other employees have noticed this impact too, along with far fewer phishing attempts. We know the product is working, and it’s hard to believe how much of an impact it has had. If we tried to do these removals manually, it would never get done.”
