"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."

My tinfoil hat tells me it is more likely that undisclosed vulnerabilities are used at this scale than sloppy coding/security. The kind that sell on the black market and are hoarded by "other" entities.

Confused here... I thought the hat was intended to make the voices go away?!
