Veinsineon Posted June 19 Posted June 19 If you thought that my May 23 report, confirming the leak of login data totaling an astonishing 184 million compromised credentials, was frightening, I hope you are sitting down now. Researchers have just confirmed what is also certainly the largest data breach ever, with an almost incredulous 16 billion login credentials, including passwords, exposed. As part of an ongoing investigation that started at the beginning of the year, the researchers have postulated that the massive password leak is the work of multiple infostealers. The 16 billion strong leak, housed in a number ion supermassive datasets, includes billions of login credentials from social media, VPNs, developer portals and user accounts for all the major vendors. Remarkably, I am told that none of these datasets have been reported as leaked previously, this is all new data. Well, almost none: the 184 million password database I mentioned at the start of the article is the only exception. "This is not just a leak – it's a blueprint for mass exploitation," the researchers said. And they are right. These credentials are ground zero for phishing attacks and account takeover. "These aren't just old breaches being recycled," they warned, "this is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale." Most of that intelligence was structured in the format of a URL, followed by login details and a password. The information contained, the researchers stated, open the door to "pretty much any online service imaginable, from Apple, Facebook, and Google, to GitHub, Telegram, and various government services."
