[DEEP RESEARCH] Token Factory: The 5 Costliest US Breaches of 2025

Your breach didn’t cost $100M. Your token revoke latency did. 🧯🔑

2025’s costliest U.S. incidents weren’t “mystery zero-days.” They were identity-led intrusions + outage math:
• Slow time-to-revoke (users, service principals, OAuth consents) = bigger blast radius
• Slow time-to-restore core ops = the real nine-figure multiplier

Meanwhile, the “token factory” is getting more efficient: OAuth device code phishing is handing out M365 access tokens like candy—often without stealing passwords or MFA codes. 🙃

So here’s the boring, grown-up playbook that beats heroics:

  1. Treat IdP/control planes as tier-0

  2. Build a revocation factory (CAE / universal logout coverage)

  3. Drill manual continuity for order-to-cash + clinical ops

Honest question: if an attacker gets a token today, how fast can you kill it everywhere?
