360 million records on sale to cyber criminals - SC Magazine UK

The firm is now de-duplicating the 360 million accounts against its
existing database, but chief information security officer Alex Holden told
*SCMagazineUK.com* that he expects the eventual tally will be around 300
million new stolen sets of credentials. This would bring the company's
overall total to 520 to 560 million records collected over the last 10
months. Holden emphasised that these figures are an "educated guess".

He estimated that just 10 percent of the passwords involved are encrypted
or encoded, making the data much more vulnerable than that stolen last
October from Adobe where the passwords were encrypted.
