Historic Data Breach Exposes Information Of 16 Billion Users



June 20, 2025

By Dan Doyle-

Earlier this week cybersecurity specialists disclosed what is being referred to as the most extensive data breach on record, where password details of more than 16 billion users were exposed. The breach encompasses a substantial 1.2-terabyte database containing email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, and in some instances, biometric information.

To respond to this breach, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advises individuals and organizations to promptly:

  • Change passwords, especially if they are used across multiple platforms
  • Activate multi-factor authentication
  • Monitor financial and online accounts for any suspicious behavior
  • Verify potential exposure of their data using tools like HaveIBeenPwned.com

This breach underscores the escalating risks in an increasingly digital environment and the vital significance of online safety.

    Yet another reason to keep society IN FEAR.
    Isn’t modern technology just so fabulous?
    You’ve all bitten the poisoned apple handed to you, and now it tastes funky.
    It’s a control method to disrupt society, promote fear tactics, and keep society on puppet strings.
    Just like those tv commercials do.
