"VAN" (Sergey Topychkanov - Russia) :: Unknown hackers have placed in the Web with the huge electronic database consisting of 2.2 billion unique passwords and user IDs. This leak has
become the largest in history, writes the edition of Wired.
The base is freely available and distributed through torrent trackers and
on piaratic forums.
This is the biggest collection of stolen data ever seen said Chris Rouland, the founder of
the password database company.
The first such collection saw the light in January and included 773 million IDs and 22 million
passwords. Experts urged users of the network not to hope for simple and
easy to match combinations, and to use as a password more complex combinations of numbers and letters.
