Data Breach Puts 773 Million People At Risk. Check If Your Identity Is Safe In 60 Seconds.

If you live in the US and have an email address this could be the most important article you read all year.

Do you have a Facebook account? Twitter Account? Yahoo Account? Or any online account for that matter that requires your email address? Well, it could be time to check who else has access to your online details. Security Experts have exposed a monster data breach containing 773 million email addresses and over 21 million passwords.

This latest breach, known as Collection #1, has effected millions already. Along with Yahoo and Facebook, this is one of the largest identity exposures in history. Still to this day, countless U.S citizens are at risk of ID theft due to Facebook, Yahoo, and Equifax data breaches. Now to make matters worse an additional 773 million accounts have been compromised.

The Collection #1 data was discovered being sold across hacking communities on the dark web and the most worrying thing of it all is that the passwords to millions of emails were reportedly exposed in plain text.

Since 2007 8+ Billion records have been stolen and that number looks to be continually increasing. It’s now estimated that 1 in 3 emails are hacked or compromised every year.

The most devastating consequence of these data breaches is that its normal people who become the victims rather than the large corporations themselves. Regular people trust multiple companies with their email addresses every day. Let’s face it, nearly everything you sign up for online is with your email right?
