Your personal information may have been leaked in the 'Mother of all Breaches' (MOAB), cybersecurity researchers have warned.

Over 26 billion personal records have been exposed, in what researchers believe to be the biggest-ever data leak.

Sensitive information from several sites including Twitter, Dropbox, and Linkedin was discovered on an unsecured page.

Worryingly, the researchers who found it claim this breach is extremely dangerous and could prompt a tsunami of cybercrime.

Wow! It’s a good thing I don’t use the Internet.

IIRC, TenCent is TikTok.

MySpace still exists? :)

[Nervous Tick]

LOL

MySpace and Adobe ….

One has certainly been a while, but Adobe is in weekly use now.

One would think that there would be a way to secure data.

[Alas Babylon!]

I don’t know what “data” got breached from my LinkedIn or Twitter account except my passwords to both, which I changed.

Beyond passwords, what data would you have there that wasn’t public? Real email addresses? Phone number? Home address (I don’t share those with these apps anyways)?

Bravo! lol.

[Sirius Lee]

MySpace still exists? :)

I LOL'D when I saw that. Come to think of it, was LOL even a thing yet when MySpace was still thing?

The sky is falling...

[maddog55]

I’m not on any of them 🤣🤣🤣 plus it’s irrelevant now since anyone online anywhere, your data is everywhere.

Thinking otherwise would be insane even those “off the gride” they know where you live.

The solution is br prepared.

[LegendHasIt]

Hmm, lets see...

NOPE, never signed up at ANY of those places.
Never even visited but a couple of them.

Myfitnesspal? NOOOOO.

Now everyone will know how much garbage I eat. I see the blackmail emails now.

“We have a screen shot of the McDonalds hamburger and fries you ate and we will release it to your wife and doctor unless you go to Walmart and wire us $1,000.

[Beowulf9]

How do we know if THIS is secure? You’re giving your email address or phone number?

[EEGator]

AdultFriendFinder should be good for a couple million divorces and lawsuits…

Advice. Everyone should go to the three credit bureaus and place a freeze on your credit.
