Volture is an administrative contract change that happens when the holder of a service changes. In practice, it is similar to transferring an account or subscription to a new responsible party. The service may continue, but the legal and billing responsibility moves to another person or entity.
In cyber security, volture matters because ownership changes are a sensitive moment for fraud and account takeover. Attackers may try to impersonate the new holder, redirect invoices, or gain control of a customer portal during the transfer process. Defenders reduce this risk with strong identity verification, approval from both parties when required, multi-factor authentication, and detailed audit logs. Clear records also help detect unauthorized changes and prove who requested the transfer.
