"Reuters reports that security company Hold Security LLC has uncovered stolen log in credentials from some 360 million online accounts that are available for sale on cyber black markets. Some of the more salient points in the article include:
The same source reports the stash was obtained in multiple breaches, but the log in credentials of 105 million accounts may have been taken in a single attack. If confirmed, this would make the largest single breach to date.
Hold Security LLC is the same company that uncovered the Adobe customer data breach in October 2013."

No problem sir. Just input your username/password/website into this dialog and we can see if it matches any of the 360 million hashes we have on file. Ok, just wait a few minutes. Don't hit the back button, or check any of your pertinent accounts. We will be finishing our analysis in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, it appears your website is a match, and most of your data has been stolen. Fortunately, you can just pay $xxx to reinstate your account and have your password reset. Now you can feel confident that no one has access to your account. Like us on facebook and write a yelp review about your experience.
