Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler uncovered an unencrypted database containing over 184 million unique login credentials for numerous popular platforms like Google, Facebook, and financial institutions. The information was believed to have been extracted by infostealer malware, widely used by cybercriminals to harvest sensitive data. The database raised significant concerns due to its exposure in plain text without any password protection. Although contacted for removal, the hosting provider could not reveal the file owner's identity or intent, leaving uncertainty regarding the database's creation and exposure.
