Brazilian IT worker João Roque has been arrested in connection with a $100 million theft through payment system PIX. Roque admitted to police that he had sold his login credentials to hackers who had approached him earlier this year.
Security Discovery researchers and the Cybernews team discovered the largest data leak ever recorded, containing 26 billion records predominantly stolen from major social media platforms and government agencies.
Dubbed “The Mother of All Breaches”, the 12 terabytes of compromised records were stolen most notably from Tencent QQ (1.5B), Weibo (504M), MySpace (360M), Twitter (281M), LinkedIn (251M), AdultFriendFinder (220M), among government agency data from the United States, Brazil, Germany, the Philippines, Turkey, among others.
