🇫🇷 On appelle ça une «MOAB» pour «mother of all breaches», ou «mère de toutes les fuites» en français. Mais techniquement, nous sommes face à ce que l’on pourrait qualifier de «violation de données supermassive». Douze téraoctets d’informations personnelles, majoritairement issues de fuites antérieures, ont été publiés sur internet dans ce qui semble être la pire divulgation de données de l’histoire, dévoile le média spécialisé CyberNews, en partenariat avec Bob Dyachenko, chercheur et propriétaire du site SecurityDiscovery.com.

Les 26 milliards de dossiers compilés par la fuite massive viennent de partout: des applications chinoises de messagerie Tencent QQ (1,5 milliard de dossiers!) et Weibo (504 millions), mais aussi de MySpace (toujours debout, toujours vivant, 360 millions), X (anciennement Twitter, 281 millions), Deezer (258 millions), LinkedIn (251 millions), AdultFriendFinder (220 millions de coquinous), Adobe (153 millions), Dailymotion (86 millions), Dropbox (69 millions) et Telegram (41 millions). Vertigineux.

🇬🇧It is called a “MOAB” for “mother of all breaches”, or “mother of all leaks” in French. But technically, we are facing what could be described as a “supermassive data breach”. Twelve terabytes of personal information, mostly from previous leaks, have been published on the internet in what appears to be the worst data disclosure in history, reveals the specialized media CyberNews, in partnership with Bob Dyachenko, researcher and owner of the site SecurityDiscovery.com.

The 26 billion records compiled by the massive leak come from everywhere: Chinese messaging applications Tencent QQ (1.5 billion records!) and Weibo (504 million), but also from MySpace (still standing, still alive, 360 million), X (formerly Twitter, 281 million), Deezer (258 million), LinkedIn (251 million), AdultFriendFinder (220 million naughty ones), Adobe (153 million), Dailymotion (86 million), Dropbox (69 million) and Telegram (41 million). Vertiginous.
