Sensitive information from several sites including Twitter, Dropbox, and Linkedin was discovered on an unsecured page.
EXPERTS call the latest cyber heist the ‘mother of all breaches’ after 26 billion records were leaked from websites such as X (Twitter), LinkedIn and Dropbox.
This comes after the Daily Mail reported that sensitive information from several sites including X (Twitter), Dropbox, and Linkedin was discovered on an unsecured page.
Bob Dyachenko, owner of SecurityDiscovery.com and researchers from Cybernews discovered the data breach on an unsecured web instance.
Likely, the owner of the massive breach will never be discovered but the researchers suggest it could be a malicious actor, data broker, or service that works with large amounts of data, the publication reported.
Early data suggests that this is not a new breach, but is actually a collection of earlier breaches.
