In the largest data breach ever, billions of passwords were exposed.
In recent news, hackers are claimed to have released over 3.2 billion passwords in the world's greatest data breach. This was accomplished by the hacking of the RockYou social app's website servers, which exposed billions of passwords saved in many databases. This assault is known as the 'RockYou2021,' and it is identical to a data breach that occurred in 2009.
Furthermore, the material was made viral in clear text format as a result of the data breach. This isn't a new tactic; hackers have already exploited similar websites by combining millions of password permutations with existing breach compilations of emails and their related usernames.
Whether you believe your data has been compromised or there is a good probability you have been hacked, go to the ‘have I been pwned?' website and input your email or phone number to check if your information has been compromised. You may get to the website by going here.
You may increase the security of your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) and installing password managers that save all of your difficult passwords.
