16 Billion Passwords Leaked?! The Truth Behind the Mega Credential Dump

 

You read that right — 16 billion credentials were discovered leaked online this past week. That’s more than 2 passwords per person on Earth. But here’s the real story… This isn’t a single new breach, but rather an accumulation of data from 30+ previous breaches, including credentials from major platforms like Facebook, Google, GitHub, Apple, and more. Essentially, someone stitched together a "best of" compilation from recent info stealer malware campaigns, creating a blueprint for cybercriminals to exploit. This is very dangerous and you should enable Multi-factor authentication, passkeys, and credit freezes as soon as possible. Whether you're a user or a security pro, now's the time to check your credentials and stay extra vigilant. Like & subscribe for more breakdowns, insights, and straight talk on security.

Two Leaks, One Nightmare: AT&T Breach Strikes Again!

 

Another week, another leak—actually, two. This time, it's a fresh drop (or rather, a repackaged blast) of 86 million compromised AT&T records, tied to the 2024 third-party breach. While AT&T initially wasn’t sure if this was old data recycled or something new, researchers confirmed it’s linked to the Snowflake incident—and it’s even more dangerous this time around. This leak includes: Names Dates of birth Phone numbers Email addresses Decrypted Social Security Numbers The kicker? Threat actors used this data to construct full identities, making it ripe for fraud, phishing, and identity theft. First surfacing on May 15, then hitting Russian forums by June 3, this leak’s damage could echo for months. Expect a rise in spam calls, phishing emails, and credential-based attacks. What you should do: Freeze your credit Enable MFA everywhere Update weak or reused passwords For organizations: deploy full network observability and threat defense with solutions like Plixer One. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/old-atandt-data-leak-repackaged-to-link-ssns-dobs-to-49m-phone-numbers/ https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/05/att_investigates_data_dump/ https://cybersecuritynews.com/86-million-att-customer-records-leaked/ 🎥 Oh, and catch us at Cisco Live next week for more on how to defend against this growing threat landscape.

Supply Chain Attacks Are Still the Weakest Link

 

Third-party breaches strike again—this time it’s LexisNexis and Adidas. This past week, data broker LexisNexis confirmed a major supply chain attack via GitHub, compromising the personal information of 364,000 people—including names, contact info, SSNs, and driver's licenses. Fortunately, financial data was spared… but your personal details? Gone. And they’re not alone—Adidas also reported a breach through a third-party customer service partner, affecting customer names, emails, phone numbers, and more. ⚠️ Phishing emails and spam calls are likely on the rise—stay alert. On a brighter note: a vulnerability researcher using OpenAI’s O3 model accidentally discovered a zero-day RCE flaw in the Linux Kernel’s SMB service.
