>Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered what they are calling the 'mother of all breaches.'
They discovered a massive collection of 30 databases containing more than 16 billion individual records, including passwords, for government accounts, Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram and more websites.
Some of the datasets had vague names like 'logins' or 'credentials,' which made it hard for the team to figure out exactly what they contained.
Others, however, gave clues about where the data came from.
According to the researchers, the records were most likely compiled by cybercriminals using various infostealing malware, though they noted that some data may also have been collected by so-called 'white hat' hackers.
