[Shared Files] Google Gmail 5 million passwords leaked and downloaded

A compressed file called "google_5000000.7z" was leaked on a Russian Bitcoin forum containing the account numbers and passwords of five million Gmail users.

According to the blog, 60% of accounts and passwords are available, so 3 million gmail accounts are at risk.

Nearly half of the accounts and passwords are correct, and some have been deactivated by Google due to "suspicious logins", which means that these gmail accounts were not secure before.

Some of them were leaked last year due to Adobe passwords

The best way to keep your Gmail account safe is to turn on 2-Step Verification and download Google Authentication on your smartphone.
