The leaked database includes a script named count_total.sh, which was also included in 2017’s Breach Compilation. The data is currently archived and put in an encrypted, password-protected container. However, the current breach, known as “Compilation of Many Breaches” (COMB), contains more than double the unique email and password pairs. This leak is comparable to the Breach Compilation of 2017, in which 1.4 billion credentials were leaked. It contains billions of user credentials from past leaks from Netflix, LinkedIn, Exploit.in, Bitcoin and more. On Tuesday, February 2, COMB was leaked on a popular hacking forum. Since COMB was first released, nearly 1 million users have checked our personal data leak checker to see if their data was included in the biggest breach compilation of all time. You can head over to the CyberNews personal data leak checker now.ĬyberNews was the first leak database to include the COMB data. For that reason, users are recommended to immediately check if their data was included in the leak. However, when considering that only about 4.7 billion people are online, COMB would include the data of nearly 70% of global internet users (if each record was a unique person). To wit, the entire population of the planet is at roughly 7.8 billion, and this is about 40% of that.
While many data breaches and leaks have plagued the internet in the past, this one is exceptional in the sheer size of it. It's being called the biggest breach of all time and the mother of all breaches: COMB, or the Compilation of Many Breaches, contains more than 3.2 billion unique pairs of cleartext emails and passwords.
