Description :

A staggering 16 billion passwords and logins to Apple, Facebook, Google, and various US government services have been leaked online, triggering global security alerts in what experts are calling the most significant data breach in history. The mammoth security breach has forced Google to urge billions of users to change their passwords immediately. At the same time, the FBI has issued warnings to Americans about opening suspicious links in SMS messages. Cybersecurity experts at Cybernews, who investigated the breach, discovered a whopping 30 exposed datasets containing between tens of millions and over 3.5 billion records each. Perhaps most alarmingly, researchers confirmed that nearly all these surfaced datasets contain previously unreported information, making this an entirely fresh security crisis.
