Description
On December 5th 2017, a collection of nearly 1.4 billion plaintext leaked credentials were found circulating online. The aggregate database or "combo list" found in an underground community forum has been said to be the largest ever aggregation of various leaks found in the dark web to date. The combo list was properly fragmented and sorted into two and three level directories to simplify searching for any email address, making this leak particularly dangerous.
