16 billion passwords hacked

[asdvek]

This is garbage reporting and fear mongering and the original cybernews article isn't much better.

“This is not just a leak – it’s a blueprint for mass exploitation. With over 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing. What’s especially concerning is the structure and recency of these datasets – these aren’t just old breaches being recycled. This is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale,” researchers said.

Aside from the fact that this quote was clearly generated by AI, what researches are they quoting? Their own team?

They're also talking about 30 different datasets they've encountered over the course of the year, but Forbes is reporting it as if it's one massive leak. And I don't see any reputable news sources reporting on this (Forbes.com is not a reputable news source).

Use a password manager, don't re-use passwords, rotate them every so often, and subscribe to haveibeenpwned so you know which passwords you should immediately change.

But this article seems like it's just vague fud meant to drive clicks.
