The largest data leak in history: 16 billion passwords leaked
Forbes reports a leak of 16 billion passwords from accounts of Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub, and others.
These are new databases that have not previously appeared online. The source is malware and stealers.
However, according to Cloudflare, this is not a singular attack, but a compilation of old leaks.
Experts recommend:
— urgently change passwords on all platforms,
— enable two-factor authentication (2FA),
— do not use the same password on different sites.
