Anyone have any info about the data breech?

Nearly 26M Amazon, Facebook, Apple, eBay user logins stolen by hackers

The data was stolen from user's computers running windows between 2018 and 2020.   The websites themselves were not hacked.

Much ado about nothing.

I read through the article.  The title was a bit click-baity...  What happened was people who downloaded pirated software exposed themselves to a cyber attack... Not that any of the companies listed were compromised.  Lesson of the story....  don't download pirated software....

Typical MSM scare tactics. The headline makes you think that everyone that ever used those websites had their data stolen. Turns out it only affected those that downloaded pirated software or click on something in a email and caught a virus or a Trojan were infected.  Click-bait from supposedly responsible media.

Reminds me of the "Love" virus that swept the entire internet via corporate email systems back in mid 2000.
