Collect #1 Credential Dump Just the Beginning – Daily Security Byte

January 25, 2019 By Corey Nachreiner

Troy Hunt, a well-known security researcher, found a file called Collection #1 that contained millions of users accounts, and both hashed and clear text passwords. Turns out this is just one of five of these “Collection” files, so we’ll likely learn about more leaked credentials soon. Watch today’s video to hear about this discovery and our now repetitive, though very important, advice to secure your authentication.
