Authentication key theft involves the illicit acquisition of digital credentials that grant access to accounts or systems. This malicious act permits unauthorized control over digital assets or sensitive information. The compromised keys, often cryptographic in nature, are essential for verifying identity and authorizing transactions within blockchain networks or centralized platforms. Such breaches severely undermine the security foundations of digital asset ownership and transaction integrity.
