Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA] Researchers from Cybernews have discovered a leak of logins and passwords from 16 billion accounts in various popular services, Forbes writes.

The article notes that the leaked archive includes account data from Apple, Google, Facebook*, GitHub, Telegram, as well as social networks, VPN services and government platforms. The publication points out that most of these sets of logins and passwords are new and have not been published before.

"These credentials are the basis for phishing attacks and account takeovers," the publication says.

For this reason, cybersecurity experts advise users to immediately change passwords for all online accounts, use password managers and, if possible, enable multi-factor authentication, Forbes writes.
