Hackers using custom malware stole nearly 26 million login credentials—emails or usernames and associated passwords—from almost a million websites over a two-year period, including Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter, according to cybersecurity provider NordLocker.
The Trojan-type of malware infiltrated more than 3 million Windows-based computers between 2018 and 2020, with the cyber intruders making off with around 1.2 terabytes of personal information, according to a case study carried out by NordLocker in partnership with a third-party firm that specializes in data breach analysis.
