Internet Passwords Hacked

 In Russia a group of criminals stole 1.2 billion usernames and passwords of about 500 million emails. According to the New York Times this has been the longest collection of credentials. The Cyber ​​security firm discovered that the securities of some web sites were weak, so it was easy for criminals to collect personal information from other people. The criminals also hacked big companies from the U.S and other countries.
