Your personal information may have been leaked in the 'Mother of all Breaches' (MOAB), cybersecurity researchers have warned.

Over 26 billion personal records have been exposed, in what researchers believe to be the biggest-ever data leak.

Sensitive information from several sites including Twitter, Dropbox, and Linkedin was discovered on an unsecured page.

Worryingly, the researchers who found it claim this breach is extremely dangerous and could prompt a tsunami of cybercrime.

The article describes how to find out if you have been hacked. I did this and this site came up. Obviously I changed my password. You might want to check to see if your account here has been compromised...

Part of the reason I've resisted actually paying for any of these sites (that have paid alternatives). And all my info that I load into these sites are either made up (be it names or date of birth, answers to security questions, etc.). I've wanted to get a paid Twitter/X account but have pulled back because of security concerns.
