No, the 16 billion credentials leak is not a new data breach

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-03-10 10:51:41

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks. To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials. Instead, these stolen credentials were likely circulating for some time,

The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA. So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thank
