| NT hashes of passwords for accounts that are not changed regularly are susceptible to reuse by attackers using Pass-the-Hash. Windows service \ application account passwords are not typically changed for longer periods of time to ensure availability of the applications. If a service \ application also has administrative privileges it will provide elevated access if compromised. |
