Not a week goes by, it seems, when we don't have details of a new data breach, password leak or some comparable computer system intrusion by devious hackers to report on.
One of the latest is a database of stolen login credentials and other sensitive customer data that was uncovered by NordLocker. It's a 1.2TB cache of data that NordLocker says was stolen via a "Trojan-type malware" between 2018 and 2020, when this malware infiltrated more than 3 million Windows-based computers. In partnership with a third-party company specializing in analyzing data breaches, NordLocker studied this database and found almost 26 million login credentials, "holding 1.1 million unique email addresses, 2 billion+ cookies, and 6.6 million files."
