      There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

      Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

        https://cybernews.com/security/billions-credentials-exposed-infostealers-data-leak/

        Several collections of login credentials reveal one of the largest data breaches in history, totaling a humongous 16 billion exposed login credentials. The data most likely originates from various infostealers.
