Massive Leak: Hacker Exposes 10 Billion Passwords!

A hacker has revealed almost 10 billion passwords in what is being considered possibly the largest leak of its kind to date.

The hacker, using the alias “ObamaCare,” uploaded a file named “RockYou2024” containing the passwords to an online hacking forum on July 4. This information comes from Cybernews, which highlighted concerns that this vast amount of data could be exploited by other cybercriminals for attacks. This new compilation includes an additional 1.5 billion plain text passwords obtained from data breaches, adding to a previous dataset posted on the same forum in 2021 under the name “RockYou2021.”
