A newly discovered database containing 24 billion stolen records is a reminder that personal information from data breaches, phishing campaigns, and infostealer infections continues to circulate online.
The collection was briefly exposed on the internet before being taken offline. While researchers can’t confirm exactly whose information was included, the discovery is a good opportunity to check whether your email addresses, passwords, or other personal data have already been exposed.
The best place to start is with Malwarebytes Digital Footprint Portal (DFP), which can show you whether your information has appeared in known data exposures and breaches.
