In mid-January, security researcher Troy Hunt published the details of a data breach he referred to as “Collection #1” – a set of nearly 2.7 billion email address and password pairs.
The collection is made up of different data breaches from thousands of sources, and even after eliminating duplicates there were still over 1.1 billion unique combinations of email addresses and passwords.
