Account Takeover

A login verifies a credential.Not the person using it.

Attackers sign in with stolen or faked credentials. TOTAL verifies the Persona behind every action, not just at login.

TOTAL flags an account takeover: Vincent Hale, an infrastructure architect compromised through a phishing campaign and an OAuth backdoor, marked Attack with a full threat brief and event timeline.
Why takeover works

Any factor can be stolen or faked. Point-in-time verification is blind after login.

Traditional verification checks identity once, at sign-in, then trusts the whole session, so a single beaten factor becomes a full account takeover. TOTAL checks every transaction against the Persona and flags what does not fit the identity.

Identity vs Persona

Steal a credential and you can impersonate an identity. You can’t impersonate a Persona™.

TOTAL watches that Persona across the whole identity lifecycle, from Identity Verification at hiring to every action after sign-in, flagging drift from the identity’s own baseline and its peer cluster.

TOTAL Account Takeover architecture: hiring to strong IDV to enrollment, then passwordless sign-in to continuous authentication, with Persona drift from identity and cluster feeding agentic reasoning, an AI Judge, and enforcement.

Takeover vectors

The common ways in. Each one caught after sign-in.

Credentials can be stolen. Behavior cannot. A Persona models how an identity actually acts across an entire session, and even an attacker holding phished credentials cannot reproduce it.

Phishing & Stolen Credentials

The phishing kit captures the password and the live MFA code, so the attacker signs in while the real user sleeps.

Deepfake Impersonation

The face on the verification call is a live deepfake that clears the liveness check, with no real person behind it.

notifications_active

MFA Fatigue

The attacker keeps firing MFA prompts at the user, all night, until they approve one just to make it stop.

Help-Desk Social Engineering

One convincing phone call to the help desk, and the attacker has the MFA reset to a phone they own.

Session Hijack

Infostealer malware grabs the session cookie, and the attacker reuses it to resume the session with no login to challenge.

SIM Swap

The phone number is ported away, and the codes and resets follow.

Built to stop Scattered Spider.And every crew like it.

They phish credentials, fatigue MFA, and social-engineer the help desk to clear the login. Every move they make is checked against the Persona, and TOTAL stops them before the breach.
