124M Passwords Exposed as Infostealer Malware Hits Millions of Devices

The era of hacking corporate databases may be giving way to something far more direct. Have I Been Pwned has added a massive collection of infostealer malware records containing 124 million passwords and 56 million email accounts. The credentials came from stealer logs created by malware that harvests sensitive information from infected devices. The dataset offers a snapshot of how cybercriminal tactics are evolving. As infostealer malware becomes more widespread, attackers are increasingly bypassing organizations altogether and collecting credentials directly from users, creating fresh and simpler opportunities for account takeovers and broader cyberattacks. What happened and why it matters The most striking detail isn’t when the data appeared — it’s how much of it exists. 56 million unique email addresses and 124 million unique passwords were included in the infostealer dataset added to Have I Been Pwned. While the collection was added on June 15, the platform did not specify when the credentials were originally stolen. What is clear is that the records came from malware-infected devices rather than corporate breaches, reflecting a growing shift …

Meta’s Threads Hits 500 Million Users, Adds New Personalization Tools

Many expected Threads to cool off after its blockbuster launch. Instead, Meta’s X rival is still growing nearly three years later. When Meta launched Threads in 2023, the app quickly attracted millions of users through its seamless integration with other Meta platforms, but questions remained about whether that early momentum could last. Nearly three years later, the platform’s latest milestone suggests it has done more than survive the post-launch hype cycle. Meta announced on Tuesday that Threads has reached 500 million monthly active users while introducing new community and personalization features. The updates signal a platform that is increasingly focused on keeping users engaged, not simply attracting new ones. The post-launch slowdown never arrived For social media platforms, launch success and long-term success are very different. And for Threads, crossing 500 million monthly active users is more than a numerical milestone. The achievement serves as evidence that the platform has moved beyond the phase where every growth update is measured against its launch performance. In its early days, much of the discussion around Threads centered …
