🚨 16 BILLION CREDENTIALS LEAKED — LARGEST DATA BREACH IN HISTORY!

⭕ Cybernews researchers located 30 unsecured datasets holding ~16 billion login credentials from infostealer malware, each with tens of millions to 3.5 billion entries.

⭕ Affected services include Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub, VPNs and government portals.

⭕ Leaked data includes URL, username, password, tokens, cookies—structured for automated attacks and credential stuffing tools.

⭕ Researchers warn this is fresh, weaponizable data—not recycled leaks—with risks of phishing, account takeover and identity theft.

⭕ Urgent steps: change passwords, enable MFA, use passkeys & monitor your accounts!

  1. This is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials. Instead, these stolen credentials were likely circulating for some time, if not for years. It was then collected by a cybersecurity firm, researchers, or threat actors and repackaged into a database that was exposed on the Internet. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-the-16-billion-credentials-leak-is-not-a-new-data-breach/amp/
