15 Billion Credentials Currently Up for Grabs on Hacker Forums

100,000 separate data breaches over a two-year period have yielded a 300 percent increase in stolen credentials. 15 billion usernames and passwords for a range of internet services are currently for sale on underground forums fueling account takeovers on the internet.
