ok but 16 BILLION logins??
like wtf. this isn’t just a small leak it’s the biggest ever.
not clickbait. not fear-mongering.
just 2 days ago, 16B+ login creds combos were dumped on the dark web.
affected? literally everyone:
Google. Apple. Facebook. GitHub. probably even that random app you forgot about.
all stolen using RedLine & Vidar malware, then dumped publicly through something called AlienStealerLogs
(i didn’t even know that existed until now)
→ your info might already be floating around.
→ your accounts are at risk.
→ your online identity? not safe if you don’t act.
what i did (and you should too):
● changed ALL my important pws
● turned on 2FA (finally)
● checked if my email got pwned on: haveibeenpwned.com
● started using aliases for shady apps
this is not the time to be lazy with your security. if you think “nah bro i’m safe” you’re the first one they’ll get.
