Yes, your passwords might be part of the guest list.
Cybernews and Forbes uncovered the leak on Thursday (June 19), sending shockwaves through cybersecurity circles.
But a day earlier, on Wednesday (July 18), TechRadar already reported that a researcher found 184 million unique credentials in unsecured database including bank, health, government, and major tech platform.
It included logins emails, usernames, passwords and more in the unsecured database, as per TechRadar.
