An update from last night’s post, the mother of all breaches

This morning, I have found the accompanying article on Cybernews directly. This, could be the biggest compromise due to its size and organizational structure.

Now, I’m going to take the most important paragraphs that you need from this article.

A quick run through the data tree reveals an astoundingly large number of records compiled from previous breaches. The largest number of records, 1.4 billion, comes from Tencent QQ, a Chinese instant messaging app.

However, there are supposedly hundreds of millions of records from Weibo (504M), MySpace (360M), Twitter (281M), Deezer (258M), Linkedin (251M), AdultFriendFinder (220M), Adobe (153M), Canva (143M), VK (101M), Daily Motion (86M), Dropbox (69M), Telegram (41M), and many other companies and organizations.

The leak also includes records of various government organizations in the US, Brazil, Germany, Philippines, Turkey, and other countries.

As you can see, lots of sites, lots of governmental stuff to be concerned about, and we still don’t know what exactly is going on.

While last night i posted the video, I knew there was an article which would be better than the databreaches article, although I do like them.

For complete details, please view Mother of all breaches reveals 26 billion records: what we know so far and is a must read.

If you look at the list, which is over 3800 items, there are a lot of TLD’s all over the place. Its in alphabetical order, starting with numbered sites first.

Stay safe!
