This is aggregated data from info stealers not from compromising Google or FB systems.

Is this even new? Or is this the same bunch of stealer logs that has been floating around repackaged? This 149M is meaningless without removing the already seen entries and getting rid of duplicates.

This is a great question. I saw this and first thing I thought was:

Am I a part of this?

If this is a collection of stealer logs, no, but if it is Google & Facebook that have been hacked / had data leaked, then yes.

So far I've not heard anything from either, so I'm gonna assume that it didn't happen through those services until I hear otherwise.


and Is this on haveibeenpwnd yet?

IMHO, any password shared with google and/or Facebook is instantly "leaked". I trust them less with my passwords than I do randos.

Reminds me of old IRC where you would trick a noob into revealing their password, then kick them out a bunch until they changed it. Channel would have a good laugh.

Time to change our passwords

I have just heard celebrations from millions of AI agents living in data centers cheering on yet another data leak full off unique login data ready to train on.

Now these AI agents are going to use this to get to know about us humans even more.
