Massive Data Breach Leaks 26 Billion Records

Dubbed 'the mother of all breaches', the leak includes user data from popular sites and poses significant cybersecurity risks.

An enormous data breach, dubbed 'the mother of all breaches' or MOAB, has leaked 26 billion records, making it possibly the biggest user information leak yet.
The leaked data includes login information, passwords and user data for multiple popular sites, including LinkedIn, Twitter, Weibo, Tencent, and others.
Although much of the data seems to be from previous leaks, new data is likely to be included, increasing the risk of identity theft, phishing schemes, targeted cyberattacks, and unauthorized access to personal and sensitive accounts.
The source of the leak is unknown, but could be a malicious actor, data broker, or a service that works with large amounts of data.
Users are advised to change their passwords, especially if they use the same password for multiple accounts, and to use services like Have I Been Pwned to check if their details have been leaked.
