Record-Breaking Data Breach: 16 Billion Passwords Exposed

Researchers have uncovered one of the largest data breaches ever: 16 billion login credentials exposed, from malware and old datasets. Social media, cloud services, corporate tools, and VPNs may have been affected.

Experts recommend: change your passwords regularly, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and check your devices for infostealers to protect your data.
