A massive data leak containing about 16 billion login records has been reported, with duplicate entries making it unclear how many unique accounts are compromised.
Exposed information was related to popular services like Google, Facebook, and Apple, but no direct data breach has been reported by these companies.
Cybersecurity expert Bob Diachenko led the investigation and found the exposed data due to poor server security, with plans to alert affected parties after accessing the files briefly.
While experts suggest that the leaked data may not be new, the incident highlights the ongoing cybersecurity challenges faced by internet users.
