Ah, another of these articles…
Let’s just quote the last part of Troy Hunt’s (the guy running Have I Been Pwned?) Twitter Thread regarding this breach
This reporting is just getting stupid: “Big brands caught in ‘mother of all breaches’”. These are breaches that date back as far as more than a decade (Adobe), and they’re now in a news headline despite them already being so broadly distributed.
NOT MYSPACE! NOOOOOOO!!!
I didn’t know that still existed lol.
This seems rather pointless news. It’s a compilation of other leaks. We’ll keep seeing things like this as more breaches are combined with this one.
There are a lot of data breaches out there, but news like this is just noise.
You are not wrong. I mostly posted this as they have an easily searchable list of all the sites affected.
There are less than 10 billion humans in existence. So this number seems clickbait. After all, these could just be location information of a few persons with per-second accuracy. Much less bad than leaking for example the disease record of an entire country.
Many people have multiple accounts, and if they are compartmentalized right, they won’t have aggregation, so the number might not be as farfetched.
Ooh man I wonder if loading all that info into an AI can teach us anything
