"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."

Yeah, really. Eventually the omniscient upper-management, who are responsible for oversight, ought to have to be held accountable. Not any time soon, obviously, but eventually!

Not like they usually get to sign off on systems themselves. They're more likely to be told to stuff their paranoia, and just get things done.
