Urgent warning to Gmail users as 183 MILLION passwords are stolen in data breach - here's how to check if your account is affected
Gmail users have been urged to check their accounts after it was revealed that more than 183 million passwords were stolen in a data breach.
Australian cyber expert Troy Hunt, who revealed the incident, called it a 'vast corpus' of breached data, which totals 3.5 terrabytes.
To put that into perspective, that's the equivalent to 875 full-length HD movies.
According to Mr Hunt, 'all the major providers have email addresses in there' – so not just Gmail, but Outlook, Yahoo and others too.
'They're from everywhere you could imagine, but Gmail always features heavily,' Hunt told the Daily Mail.
So have you been caught up in the incident?
Here's how to check if your email data has been compromised.
