Nearly 26M Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Ebay User Logins Stolen By Hackers by RuMiRgO1stSon: 10:59pm On Jun 11, 2021
According to a report by cybersecurity provider NordLocker, a custom Trojan-type malware infiltrated the computers between 2018 and 2020 and stole 1.2 terabytes (TB) of personal information.As a result, hackers were able to get their hands on nearly 26 million login credentials including emails, usernames and passwords from almost a million websites, according to Nordlocker's report, which was conducted in partnership with a third-party company specializing in data breach research.The targeted websites include major namesakes such as Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Dropbox and LinkedIn. Making up the bulk of the stolen database was "3 million text files, 900,00 image files, and 600,000+ Word files."

What was of most concern, according to Nordlocker, was that "some people even use Notepad to keep their passwords, personal notes, and other sensitive information," according to the report.
