16B Password Data Breach Sparks Huge Security Risk for Crypto
A massive online data breach has exposed over 16 billion usernames and passwords across major platforms including Apple, Google, Facebook, GitHub, and Telegram. Dubbed one of the largest leaks in history, this incident raises critical security concerns for cryptocurrency users worldwide.
The breach underscores the vulnerability of digital assets to credential-based attacks. While no specific cryptocurrencies were directly compromised, the scale of exposed credentials creates fertile ground for credential-stuffing attacks targeting exchange accounts and crypto wallets.
