Troy Hunt, the security researcher behind the HaveIBeenPwned website, was the first one to report the breach called "Collection #1"." The collection of files contains a total of 772,904,991 unique email addresses and 21,222,975 unique passwords, and have been circulating in the dark parts of the web like hacking forums. According to Hunt's post on his website, the collection of files is made up of many different individual data breaches allegedly from thousands of different sources. What's very concerning is that a forum referenced the collection of databases as "dehashed" meaning the data were already decrypted and fully exposed. KerbsOnSecurity.com, on the other hand, says that Collection #1 is 2 to 3 years old and is just a portion of a larger database which could amount to 4TB. EA Sports has announced that it will be releasing the remastered collection of its classic RTS, Command & Conquer. Lazada has just unveiled that it is bringing back its pick-up collection points delivery option. Instead of having their orders shipped, consumers may now select the Collection Point delivery option where they can pick up their orders in their chosen location. If the items in the user's cart are eligible for the feature, there will be a 'Collection Point' banner in the Checkout screen.
