2,844 Separate Data Breach Collection
The “2,844 Separate Data Breaches” collection is not one company or one attack. It is credential data assembled from multiple sources.
Exposed Data Types
2- Email addresses
- Passwords with source-dependent representation
About This Record
A public breach source catalogues the collection as 80,115,532 unique emails with email and password fields. February 19, 2018 is the collection date, not a shared breach day for all 2,844 sources.
The local record measure is 74,620,602, a difference of 5,494,930 from the external unique-email measure. Neither figure means unique people, source breaches, accounts, or plaintext passwords. Sources, duplicates, and field relationships may differ, so one incident schema must not be assumed.
A row establishes only an email or password value in the compilation. It does not establish identity, which source breach it came from, a specific service account, password ownership or currentness or plaintext representation, field co-occurrence, account takeover, or misuse.
If an authenticated plaintext or recovered old password was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced with a unique password. Source-service and credential associations must remain private, and one match must not be interpreted as presence in all 2,844 incidents.
Verification and editorial method
LeakData compares the incident name, date, affected-record count, and exposed data types with accessible sources. Unverified fields are not presented as facts, and records are updated when new evidence becomes available.
