SAVANNAH, Ga. () — Sixteen billion login credentials to a plethora of websites have been leaked since the beginning of 2025, researchers from Cybernews said this week.

According to the report, researchers uncovered 30 exposed datasets that contain login information such as passwords for large platforms like Google, Facebook and Apple.

They said it’s impossible to know how many people or accounts were actually exposed but noted that there was no centralized data breach at any of the companies. It seemed as though information was stolen over time and complied by various infostealers, according to the report.

“Infostealers are a form of malicious software that breaches a victim’s device or systems to take sensitive information,” the Associated Press reported.

It’s unclear who has the data, according to the AP. The article from the AP said that 16 billion is around double the amount of people on earth, meaning that some could have had their data leaked for multiple accounts.

Cybernews reported that researchers have been monitoring the exposed data since the beginning of 2025. In the article, they display several screenshots of what they said is exposed passwords.

If you are concerned that your data was leaked, officials suggest changing your password and avoid using the same or similar login information for multiple accounts.
