Largest data leak exposes 10 bln passwords

A massive dataset of almost 10 billion passwords has been shared on the dark Web in what is being called the largest password leak in history.

Dubbed "RockYou2024," the leak compiles passwords from both old data breaches from an earlier credentials database known as "RockYou2021," which featured 8.4 billion passwords, and around 1.5 billion new passwords.
