<p>Earlier this month we saw what was considered to be the largest ever dump of stolen internet accounts (https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/17/773m-email-addresses/) with 773 million email addresses and 21 million passwords. The dump of compromised accounts was called “Collection #1”. Now, Collections #2-5 have been dumped and the numbers are staggering: 845GB of stolen data that includes 25 billion total records and 2.2 billion unique usernames and passwords.</p>
