Title is exaggerating; this "single database" is actually an aggregate of many previous breach dumps.

Title is exaggerating; this "single database" is actually an aggregate of many previous breach dumps.
- ryanlol 9y agoYeah, this is just stupid. 1.4B rows isn't even a decent amount of data as far as the publicly available DBs go. Silly marketing fluff from yet another "threat intelligence" snake oil outfit.
- snarfy 9y agoWhich makes the aggregate a single database.
- breakingcups 9y agoYes, but it is not like a single service has been breached to leak that many accounts, significantly reducing the relevance and impact of this particular database. Anyone can compile a list such as this from other big dumps without much trouble, you just need some disk space.
- coldtea 9y ago>Yes, but it is not like a single service has been breached to leak that many accounts, significantly reducing the relevance and impact of this particular database. Err, it actually increases its relevance and impact. With the same database now a hacker can reach multiple services...
- minton 9y agoI agree the title is click bait. Here’s a quote from the creator (taken from the reddit link): > I have compiled it, I just want to show how big is password reuse problem for security community, and how easy was to crack those hashes using open source software.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoAnd it's not "discovered." Somebody aggregated the breaches and intentionally made it public.
