Hi there, I hope that you’re having a fantastic weekend so far and everything is fine on your side with your tech life 🙂

I wanted to share some examples of a real-life example  of what can happen when security is not taken seriously

From wired magazine:

Collection #1 appears to be the biggest public breach yet, with millions of unique passwords sitting out in the open.

If anything, the above numbers belie the real volume of the breach, as they reflect Hunt’s effort to clean up the data set to account for duplicates and to strip out unusable bits.

In raw form, it comprises 2.7 billion rows of email addresses and passwords, including over a billion unique combinations of email addresses and passwords.

The trove appeared briefly on MEGA, the cloud service, and persisted on what Hunt refers to as “a popular hacking forum.”

It sat in a folder called Collection #1, which contained over 12,000 files that weigh in at over 87 gigabytes.

While it’s difficult to confirm exactly where all that info came from, it appears to be something of a breach of breaches; t

the hat is to say, it claims to aggregate over 2,000 leaked databases that contain passwords whose protective hashing has been cracked.

So what does this mean for you?

Well, to stay safe, you could look at your credit’s provider and ask them to alert you if they see anything suspicious on your credit card transactions.

My best suggestion to you would be getting yourself a 360 protection to get you out of identity theft from the only best security company out there
