There's a bunch of articles going round about some huge data breach ([16 Billion Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Passwords Leaked — Act Now](https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2025/06/19/16-billion-apple-facebook-google-passwords-leaked---change-yours-now/)).

But it looks like they are all based on this [Cybernews article](https://cybernews.com/security/billions-credentials-exposed-infostealers-data-leak/) which is a little fuzzy. Way down in the article they say

> It is unclear who owns the leaked data. While it could be security researchers that compile data to check and monitor data leaks, it’s virtually guaranteed that some of the leaked datasets were owned by cybercriminals.

Also 
>  it’s safe to say overlapping records are definitely present. In other words, it’s impossible to tell how many people or accounts were actually exposed.

I can believe there's yet another data breach...but also this feels like somebody trying to get attention.
