READ MORE Major UK high street chain rebrands and starts shutting stores tomorrow<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe exposed records included usernames and passwords collected from victims around the world, spanning a wide range of commonly used online services and about any type of account imaginable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fowler said he saw a range of social media platforms in the data leak, along with dating sites.<\/p>\n
“I also saw a large number of streaming and entertainment accounts, including Netflix, HBOmax, DisneyPlus, Roblox, and more” he shared in the report.<\/p>\n
“Financial services accounts, crypto wallets or trading accounts, banking and credit card logins also appeared in the limited sample of records I reviewed.”<\/p>\n
A Google spokesperson told the Daily Mail: \u201cWe are aware of reports regarding a dataset containing a wide range of credentials, including some from Gmail.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis data represents a compilation of \u2018infostealer\u2019 logs, credentials harvested from personal devices by third-party malware, that have been aggregated over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continuously monitor for this type of external activity and have automated protections in place that lock accounts and force password resets when we identify exposed credentials.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fowler said:”‘Because the data includes emails, usernames, passwords, and the exact login URLs, criminals could potentially automate credential-stuffing attacks against exposed accounts, including email, financial services, social networks, enterprise systems, and more.<\/p>\n
“This dramatically increases the likelihood of fraud, potential identity theft, financial crimes, and phishing campaigns that could appear legitimate because they reference real accounts and services.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A data leak warning has been issued – as tens of millions of online login credentials have seemingly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,867,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-719240","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-google","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115954467720064938","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
