26 billion personal records leaked online
World
The size of one of the most dangerous leaks in the history of information security was 12 TB. About 4 thousand published folders contain 26 billion records with confidential information.
The leaked data came from accounts on LinkedIn, Telegram, X (Twitter), Weibo, Tencent. This is one of the largest leaks we know of, and experts are calling this cluster of information the "mother of all hacks" or MOAB.
The source of the leak could have been either middlemen trading this data or services using personal information. In either case, the source is almost impossible to determine. The data leak was meticulously organised, with the data broken down into bases and categories, indicating the serious intentions of the attackers.
The cybercrime committed can lead to precise and sophisticated phishing attacks and the theft of other sensitive information.
