Billions of logins for Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, and more found exposed online

Summary: Researchers uncovered 30 exposed datasets containing a combined total of 16 billion fresh login credentials harvested primarily by infostealer malware, enabling large-scale account takeovers, identity theft, and targeted phishing campaigns. These datasets, briefly exposed via unsecured storage, represent one of the largest credential breaches to date, with implications for widespread exploitation due to the inclusion of tokens, cookies, and metadata.

What Makes Credential Stuffing Difficult to Detect?

Credential stuffing is a cyberattack where attackers use stolen usernames and passwords, often obtained from data breaches or bought on the dark web, to gain unauthorized access to accounts on other platforms. These attacks are highly prevalent and a major contributor to data breaches, largely because 64% of users reuse passwords across multiple accounts. On platforms like Auth0, credential stuffing activities account for nearly half of daily login attempts. The risk continues to grow as billions of compromised credentials circulate online, giving attackers endless opportunities to exploit reused passwords.

Stop reusing your passwords

Long story short, basically everyone who has passwords for lots of people experiences a breach. That means at least the username and password of most/all of their users is leaked.

When that happens, enterprising individuals take that information and they try those usernames and passwords on every major website on the internet. So if you use the same password on your supermarket account that you do on facebook, they can now get access to your facebook. Or your email. Or your bank. This is called credential stuffing.

If you want to check where your information has been leaked from, go to haveibeenpwned.com and type your email address in. It will tell you where they've seen it.
