# Consumer Records

Consumer Records represent credential exposures that **do not belong to the organization’s corporate domain**.\
For example, when monitoring **acme.com**, any leaked account that is **not** in the format **`<user>@acme.com`** is classified as a Consumer Record.

This includes:

* Personal email addresses (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) used by employees or third-party users
* Accounts identified **only by usernames** with no associated corporate email
* Credentials originating from infostealer infections or breached platforms where users signed up using non-corporate identities

By separating Consumer Records from corporate-domain leaks, Whiteintel enables organizations to clearly identify **direct corporate exposures** while still assessing potential risks such as password reuse, supply-chain access, and lateral movement.
