I'm curious about the recent news on password breaches. There are reports about billions of records being leaked, but the details seem pretty vague. How could so many different authentication systems get compromised at once? Is this linked to a breach of a password manager? If there's a previous discussion on this topic, could someone share the link?

Honestly, the situation seems blown out of proportion. Most of the 'new' info is just a rehash of what we've heard before. It’s a good nudge for folks to be vigilant, but it feels more like clickbait than anything. Let's stay aware, but don’t panic!
It looks like there wasn't a single breach, but rather a collection of previously hacked records being reported together as one massive leak. So it's not a new incident but just a reminder to everyone that they should change their passwords regularly.
You're right, the way these leaks are presented can be confusing. It seems to be a reference to past breaches accumulating over time. It's a good reminder for everyone to check their passwords, even if they think they're safe.
