Police ‘Donates’ Over 22 Crore Stolen Passwords: Check Whether Your Password Is Hacked Or Not

Law enforcement agencies encompassing the National Crime Agency (NCA) and National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) in the UK have regained a huge pile of stolen passwords and email IDs. The stolen passwords recouped in the UK were from a hacked cloud storage facility that affected internet users worldwide. The NCA announced that it had reclaimed roughly around 22.5 crore passwords and is ‘donating’ them to the database of ‘Have I Been Pwned’ (HIBP). For those who are not aware of this, ‘Have I Been Pwned’ is a free online service that lets anyone search whether their password or the email ID is leaked or not. For HIBP, this is the biggest database that they obtained from the police and enlarges to the 61.3 crore stolen passwords that they already possess in their database. In an official statement, the NCS announced, “During recent NCA operational training, the NCCU’s Mitigation@Scale team was able to observe a huge amount of potentially compromised credentials in a compromised cloud storage facility.” Leaked passwords are like a jackpot for cybercriminals. They can equip their password-cracking algorithms with these passwords to precisely guess what your password could be for any online service involving banking.

  • Go to the ‘Have I Been Pwned’ website: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
