Can you imagine your password floating around the internet like a flyer? Well... that just happened.

📂 Where did it come from?
According to cybersecurity experts, this database was published on hacker forums and contains information from years of leaks: social networks, bank accounts, streaming platforms, email addresses, e-commerce... everything!

🧠 What should you do RIGHT NOW?
If you are reading this, it's time to take action. Here are some recommendations:
1. 🔄 Change your passwords
Start with the most important services: Gmail, Instagram, WhatsApp, online banking, etc.
Use long, unique passwords with symbols. Example: P@to_L0co!2025.
2. 🧩 Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
That small code that arrives on your phone or app can save you from being hacked.
3. 🔍 Check if you were a victim
You can use sites like HaveIBeenPwned.com to see if your email was leaked.
(Don't put your password there, just your email.)
4. 🧠 Do not reuse passwords
If you use the same password for everything, a hacker could access all your accounts with just one.
5. 🛡️ Use a password manager
Apps like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Google Password Manager itself can help you create and store secure passwords.

🚫 Don't take it lightly!
Even if you think you have “nothing important,” your account can be used for scams, sending spam, or blackmail.
Also, many times the theft is not immediate: they can save your data for future attacks 🕵️♂️.
