How did this data leak?

According to the Cybernews report, this data has not been leaked from any single hacking. Rather, it has been collected from many small and big data theft incidents (data breach). All this information was available online for some time in 30 large datasets, which the researchers found.

How big is this number?

The number of 16 billion is really scary. This is twice the population of the earth! This means that the login information of many accounts of the same person can be leaked. However, this data may also contain a lot of duplicate (similar) information, so it is not clear how many people have actually been affected.

Who is responsible for this?

According to CyberNews, this may be the work of a dangerous software called Infostealer. This is a type of malware (dangerous software), which secretly enters any device and steals your important information like login ID, password, and bank details.

What to do now? How to avoid it?

If you are also worried thinking whether your account is also a part of this leak, then definitely follow these cyber security tips:

  1. Change your password immediately: Change the password of all your important sites (like Gmail, Facebook, banking etc.) immediately.
  2. Keep a different password for every site: Do not use the same password again and again. This will ensure that even if one account gets hacked, the rest will remain safe.
  3. Use a password manager: If remembering multiple passwords is difficult, you can use a password manager app (like Bitwarden, 1Password, Dashlane).
  4. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA): This will require another verification (like an OTP or app alert) in addition to your password to login.
  5. Avoid untrusted websites: Think before opening any free software or links. Unknown emails or downloads can lead to viruses entering your system.

Additional tips:

  • You can visit a website like haveibeenpwned.com to check if your email has been a part of any data breach.
  • According to cyber experts, it is a good habit to change passwords every 3-6 months.
  • If you make online payments, use virtual cards or UPI facilities, which are considered more secure.
