5 Lacks Google gmail acounts usernames and passwords were hacked and leaked Tuesday(09-09-2014) on a Russian Bitcoin security Relevant Products/Services forum.
According to a Tweet from Peter Kruse, a Danish cybersecurity expert, the data Relevant Products/Services likely originated from a number of data breaches, not just one. Most of the passwords were more than three years old, he added.
Even though the information appears to be outdated, security experts recommend that people regularly update their passwords in the event of such breaches. They also suggest that Gmail users take advantage of the two-factor authentication system, which offers an added layer of security.
