More than 300,000 users still utilize credentials that have been compromised, Google study finds. The risk of hijacking was the highest for video streaming and porn sites, researchers said. Only 0.2 percent of logins on financial and government sites relied on breached credentials. The study was based on data collected from Google s Password Checkup Chrome extension. The extension is meant to keep online accounts safe from hijacking by displaying a warning box to users when they sign on to a site using one of the 4 billion usernames or passwords that Google knows has been breached.
