Hackers laid out 25 billion login and passwords on the network

Hackers collected and laid out a new collection of logins and passwords, which significantly exceeds the so -called Collection #1 , which was discovered two weeks ago and contained 773 million unique logins and passwords.

Quote: “This is the largest leak that we have seen,” Chris Rowland quotes Wired the founder of Phosphorus.io, who discovered files.

What is a new leak? The base, called Collections #2-5, contains 25 billion records.

• There are much less unique logins and passwords there - 2.2 billion.
• Many records are the old haho!, LinkedIn and Dropbox hacks.
• The base volume is 845 GB, the archive actively spreads through torrents. On the evening of January 30, 130 people distributed it and downloaded it more than 1000 times.

What to do? You can check your login/password for presence in the database here . The result will come to the indicated mail and will look like this:

If the logins and passwords are in the database, you should change at least those of them that were invented before the leak.
