[ URGENT ] Leak of 1.4 billion passwords! | Are you on the list?
One of the biggest leaks of passwords in cyber history - unfortunately - happened.
According to experts from the company 4iQ, a database (deep-web and torrent distributed) was found containing about 1.4 billion logins (users / password) that can access various services, among them examples): Netflix, MySpace, Linkedln and Bitcoin.
The file found has 41 GB, being last updated in November of this year. 4iQ has tested the veracity of e-mails and passwords and attests that they are real.
Although much information is old, in the middle of them can be found an access point to services like Gmail, PayPal and Uber. So this obviously poses a major risk and the leak points out is the lack of concern for basic data security by much of the world's population.
