A report titled “Mother of All Breaches” revealed 26 billion records

Researchers studying cybersecurity have discovered an enormous database with an astounding 26 billion compromised entries. Dubbed the “Mother of all Breaches,” according to Forbes, it’s perhaps the largest breach discovered to date. Sensitive data from a number of websites, including Dropbox, LinkedIn, and Twitter, is included in the database.

According to Forbes’ article, experts from Security Discovery and Cybernews found the breach, which has a size of up to 12 gigabytes.
Along with the Cybernews team, Bob Dyachenko, proprietor of SecurityDiscovery.com and cybersecurity researcher, asserts that they have found billions upon billions of exposed information.
Records of users from social media site Weibo and Chinese messaging behemoth Tencent are also included in the hacked data. There are other records from Telegram, Canva, and Adobe. There are additional data from Chinese social media sites like Tencent and Weibo as well as records from government agencies.
Passwords are among the data that was compromised.
There are reportedly several login and password combinations in the exposed data. In actuality, the inclusion of usernames and passwords presents a serious risk, even if the majority of the data seems to have been recycled from previous breaches. Experts advise people to be vigilant, changing their passwords and being on the lookout for phishing scams.
Threat actors might use the combined data for a variety of assaults, such as identity theft, complex phishing schemes, targeted cyberattacks, and illegal access to private and sensitive accounts, according to the researchers, making the information “extremely dangerous.”
MySpace (360 million), Twitter (281 million), LinkedIn (251 million), and AdultFriendFinder (220 million) are a few of the other largest data breaches in history.
