Cybernews, a cybersecurity platform, reported that about 16 billion login credentials from services such as Apple, Google, Facebook and others were compromised, making them "weaponizable intelligence at scale," most of which had never been disclosed before. The analysis points out that the crypto industry may face potential risks, and hackers may use the leaked information to launch precise attacks against custodial wallets, cloud mnemonic backups, etc. The report recommends that users change their passwords, turn on two-factor authentication, and avoid saving private keys and recovery phrases in unsecured environments as soon as possible.
