Well I would say close to half of those accounts are duplicate - as in not 1 account per person.

- jlgaddis 9y agoThe article mentions this: > The number of individuals affected by the 2013 attack is smaller than 3 billion, because some people have multiple accounts ...
- ktta 9y agoWell 'smaller' and 'close to 50%' will have different effects, and I'm willing to bet that the number of individuals affected will be a lot, lot less than 3bn.
- anonytrary 9y agoI would go further and say 3b is an order of magnitude too large. Bots aside, If there are only 3 accounts per user, our estimate is at 1b. Now, we take into account malicious agents like bots and spammers, easily carrying a bloat factor of 3-5. The closer estimation might be 100s of millions of unique human users, and maybe half of those users actually care. TLDR+Edit: Didn't see your other post and accidentally straw manned you. Anyway, I agree it's gonna be "a lot lot less" than 3b unique human accounts.
