After 26 billion records were leaked from websites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Dropbox, experts call the latest cyber heist the’ mother of all breaches’.
This comes after the Daily Mail reported that sensitive information from several websites, including Twitter, Dropbox, and Linkedin, was found on an unsecured page.
Bob Dyachenko, the owner of Security Discovery.com, and Cybernews researchers discovered the data breach on an unsecured web instance.
The owner of the massive breach is unlikely to be discovered, but researchers believe it could be a malicious actor, data broker, or service that deals with large amounts of data, according to the publication.
Early data suggests that this is not a new breach, but rather a collection of previous breaches.
To see if you have been affected by the breach, enter your email address or phone number into the cybernews.com search bar and click ‘check now’ to see if your account information has been compromised.
Cybernews says it is currently working on updating the tool to ensure that it can detect data leaked in the latest breach.
Alternatively, Cybernews has compiled a searchable list of sites affected by the breach.
