Collection of 7,651 databases

In late 2022 a massive repository containing 7651 distinct databases was released into the public domain. This collection originated from a decommissioned underground hacking forum known as DataViper or similar trading platforms. The incident represents a massive aggregation of previous breaches rather than a single new hack. The exposure includes plain text credentials sourced from thousands of different websites and services globally. Security researchers identified that the total volume of unique email and password pairs reached hundreds of millions making it one of the largest credential stuffing resources available at the time.
