Report: Largest data breach in history, dubbed ‘Collection #1,’ exposed 770 million emails, 21 million passwords

The largest data breach in history exposed more than 700 million emails and more than 21 million passwords.

The cataclysmic data exposure was first reported by Troy Hunt, the owner of haveibeenpwned.com, a long-running site which allows users to search their credentials (emails and passwords) and see if they’ve been compromised.

Hunt’s site analyzes hundreds of database dumps and repositories of information to constantly update what personal information has been released by hackers.
