An account takeover report records how an attacker seized a customer login and moved money. GDPR Recital 26 treats data as anonymous only when no person can be singled out. anonym.plus removes victim names, logins, and account data on your device, so the attack method stays visible without the victim.
When this applies
A security team studies takeover patterns to harden login defences. You give them a cleaned report that keeps the method, not the victim.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the report in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags victim names, logins, and accounts.
- Local OCR reads a scanned incident sheet.
- Turn the name map OFF for true anonymity.
- Replace each identifier with a label.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The incident report (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace, with the name map off).
- Optional batch for many incidents.

Limitations & cautions
Recital 26 says the data stays personal while anyone can re-identify it. Keep the name map off for analysis. A unique login or device clue in free text can still single out the victim, so review the narrative.
Frequently asked questions
Is the analysis copy truly anonymous?
Only with the name map off and free-text clues checked. Recital 26 sets that bar.
Are login emails flagged like names?
Yes. A login email is treated as an identifier and flagged alongside the victim's name.
Does the report leave my device?
No. The app is offline, so incident data stays local.
