Abstract
Techniques to facilitate securing web services from unauthorized access are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, user interactions with a web service are monitored, and sets of the user interactions are generated per originator based on origination information associated with the user interactions. The sets of the user interactions are processed to identify credentials used to access the web service per originator. The credentials used to access the web service per originator are compared with compromised credentials stored in a database to identify one or more user accounts of the web service associated with an originator that used the compromised credentials found in the database. Security measures are applied for at least the one or more user accounts of the web service associated with the originator that used the compromised credentials found in the database.
