Again, not a new attack against any website; it's just a compilation of 617 million passwords, email addresses, or usernames from different services already hacked, but these attacks occurred from the end of 2016 to 2018. We are talking here about hacked services like Dubsmash, MyFitnessPal, 8fit 500px or DataCamp. As always, it's easy to check if we're affected by this hack, thanks to some specially designed sites.
This time, affected users can be quieter because everyone can not access these passwords. First of all, they are on sale in the deep web; second, because the price of this database is $ 20,000. However, it's important to review the verification tools we mentioned earlier if you were affected by this hack and quickly change the password for your affected services.
Those who have put a huge database of stolen passwords for sale warn that they have a larger database, but not all passwords will be displayed for sale. As a advice to you to avoid having problems with this type of hacking and massive leaks, change your passwords periodically and use the authentication system in two steps whenever possible. In this way we will at least have more protection against these kinds of threats that can affect any user.
