Someone still use Twitter?
I wouldn’t trust the Daily Mail as far as I can throw it. It’s objectively the lowest quality, least factually correct, most sensationalist, and most extremely biased mainstream newspaper we have in the UK. Essentially the British equivalent of Fox News.
Daily Fail regurgitating old hat again. For anyone interested in more actual details, here’s Troy Hunt with a written analysis and now also a follow-up on what he speculated after the first announcement by Cybernews; a re-leak of known data
Of the companies listed on the screenshot or mentioned in the article, at least LinkedIn, Twitter, Deezer, Dropbox, Zynga and MyFitnessPal have been hacked before. Probably just a collection of old data?
Edit: Yeah, aggregated data
Too early to tell for sure, but it looks like the current theory is that it’s some combination of aggregating existing breach data and information gleaned from credential stuffing attacks.
It’s more plausible than some absurd number of websites all had the same 0-day leading to 26,000,000,000 accounts leaked. The people selling these aren’t exactly trustworthy and are just as likely to repackage old leaks to rip each other off with.
Super old news at this poont and it’s already outdated. It’s just an aggregation with some fake data sprinkled in between.
Is CyberNews’ data checker safe? Or is entering an email just confirming a valid email address to the breachers?
Never heard of that one. This one is trustworthy: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
i wish they would leak MIMIC-IV dataset
