If done right, you can't steal credentials, because they're either not there or not on a system that can be hacked in order to retrieve them. One of the reasons why Bitcoin, if done right, is safer than every bank account - from the technological/mathematical point of view!

I don't get at all how it is even possible to get the passwords in plain text. I mean, who on earth is storing passwords in plaintext on their servers? This is something you learn in ITsec 101 or cryptography 101...

Sometimes there is a public leak of passwords or private contend in major sites. Yes, they make mistakes with their security too.

It just wastes everyone's time. There are so many better, constructive things that people can do with their lives.

Some do it for fun, some do it to defame some particular website in this case they targeted 1.2 billion login credentials and some of main stream websites in total 420,000 websites. They can make money out of it too.. 500 million email addresses and 1.2billion they can sell it , exploit it in every possible manner, blackmailing... and much more..

Title: Re: Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials Post by: some1 on August 07, 2014, 02:39:47 PM The hackers are going to use them for spam e-mail and not stealing the financial information.
It pays more to have those accounts in use than to reveal the vulnerability. There is worry among some in the security community that keeping personal information out of the hands of thieves is a losing battle.

Title: Re: Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials Post by: spazzdla on August 07, 2014, 07:56:18 PM This makes me want to get a real offline wallet..
Title: Re: Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials Post by: rohnearner on August 07, 2014, 08:50:41 PM This makes me want to get a real offline wallet.. It looks like you are around here for a while now, the second week I was in this forum I realized that and got an offline paper wallet although I'm still keeping some of it online and feel so insecure about it even after having all the necessary securities . Every day there is a new story of hacking, the one I remember in recent times is " Klee's " who lost some 1100btc so if you haven't setup an offline wallet yet go for it ASAP , better choose paper wallet or similar.

It is pretty rare that passwords or other confidential information is actually copied with a copier. Most of this kind of info is usually stored digitally. http://smallbusinesssolutions.blogs.xerox.com/files/2011/12/Scanning.jpg http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/tr-dojo/police-medical-records-found-on-used-copy-machines/?tag=content%3BleftCol Title: Re: Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials Post by: screwUdriver on August 08, 2014, 03:53:16 AM I think most of these accounts were likely duplicates and probably from websites with really weak security.
Title: Re: Russian hackers steals 1.2 BILLION credentials Post by: rohnearner on August 08, 2014, 08:40:54 AM I think most of these accounts were likely duplicates and probably from websites with really weak security. They hacked data from 420,000 websites and you can't be so sure about the only sites with weak security was targeted any website can have vulnerability like Khalil hacked Mark Zuckerberg's fb wall last year, although stealing login credential will require sneaking into database but no one can say its not possible with big fishes out there.
