If you often use Gmail, Netflix and LinkedIn, read this carefully. A huge online leak has exposed billions of logins. Hackers have recently posted more than three billion user credentials online as part of a massive data breach compilation of emails and passwords. This might be the biggest-ever compilation of hacked user credentials ever posted on the Internet before.

According to a report from BGR, this is a massive repository of individuals’ data that’s been posted online, but it’s not the result of a new hack or data breach. As per CyberNews, this so-called “Compilation of Many Breaches or COMB” may be the biggest-ever compilation of hacked user credentials ever posted online before.
