The biggest password leak in history, known as RockYou2024, was disclosed on the Fourth of July, containing nearly 10 billion unique passwords in plain text. Despite its scale, the compilation is mainly a combination of previous password leaks, with only about 1.5 billion new passwords added since RockYou2021. The hacker responsible for the leak mentioned using advanced technology like the RTX 4090 to crack some of the passwords. Cybernews warns that attackers could exploit this database for various malicious activities, emphasizing the importance of strong password management and multi-factor authentication. While the leak poses a significant threat, especially when combined with other compromised databases, users who have been vigilant about password security since 2021 may have already taken necessary precautions. It is advised to stay proactive in securing digital accounts to mitigate potential risks associated with this massive password leak.
