Research from Cybernews indicated that 16 billion passwords were exposed in what was reportedly the world’s largest data breach to date — however, some experts are questioning these claims.
While the initial research asserted that the 16 billion exposed credentials were not merely recycled from past data breaches, some question the validity of this statement. According to CyberScoop, some experts have “outright disputed those claims or questioned the data and analysis the assertion was based upon”
and criticize the research as a “sensational claim.”
