RockYou2021: Big moments for hackers-members of a popular hacking forum. A forum member posted a huge TXT file (100 GB) containing 8,4 billion codes access, which are probably older leaks.
Σύμφωνα με το μέλος του forum που δημοσίευσε το αρχείο, όλοι οι κωδικοί accessς που συμπεριλαμβάνονται έχουν μήκος 6-20 χαρακτήρων, με χαρακτήρες που δεν είναι ASCII και λευκά κενά. Ο ίδιος χρήστης ισχυρίζεται επίσης ότι η συλλογή περιέχει 82 δισεκατομμύρια κωδικούς πρόσβασης. Ωστόσο, μετά από δοκιμές άλλων, ο πραγματικός αριθμός αποδείχθηκε ότι είναι σχεδόν δέκα φορές μικρότερος (.459.060.239 μοναδικές καταχωρήσεις).
The password collection was named "RockYou2021" after the user who posted it on the forum.
This leak appears to be the largest collection of passwords ever released. The 3,2 billion passwords that have been leaked in the past, along with passwords from many other databases, appear to be part of the RockYou2021 collection collected by a person who has been working on it for years.
Considering the fact that in dianetwork there are only 4,7 billion people online, the number of passwords contained in the ockYou2021 collection potentially includes the passwords of the entire world's online population, times over. For this reason, it is recommended that you immediately change the passwords that usesth. It's a good idea to choose long passwords, but also a password manager that stores your files locally (not in the cloud). Try the app KeePass.

For folks asking about the 8.4B record “RockYou2021” password list that's in the news today, this is an aggregation of multiple other lists. For example, this password cracking list: https://t.co/D72MJxk051
