A database containing more than 5 Million Google Accounts (Login ID’s and Passwords) have been leaked on Russian Cyber security Internet forum called forum.btcsec.com. The user ids and passwords mostly belonged to Russian Google users.
The leaked file which contains username and passwords in plain text was published on Tuesday under the Bitcoin security board thread of the forum. Forum administrator have since removed the passwords from the file leaving the usernames only as of now. The leak was then published on Reddit by mstrokin, where in the comments the link for the entire leak saved on Mega is available. One of the Redditors, soulwound also confirmed that the leak was genuine.

[QUOTE]Since every Google Account is associated with Gmail, Google plus, Youtube, Adsense and other Google services, the leaked username password combination can be used to access the same.
This massive Google Account leak comes just few days after similar leaks from popular Russian internet services Mail.ru and Yandex, with 4.66 and 1.26 million compromised accounts leaked respectively.
Google Russia said that they are investigating the leaks, suggesting users to use strong password and enable two step login verification for maximum protection. However looking back to leaks from Mail.ru and Yandex, where, both the companies said that most of the accounts from the leak were either suspended or non-existent, it is hoped that majority of this leak meets the same fate.
For the looks of it, most of the accounts were collected from either any third party website/app or were collected over years using Phishing attacks. [/QUOTE]

(no passwords, so it's safe to link)
Managed to find a, supposedly complete text file of this on another forum, didn't turn up on any of my mails, though.
I wonder how many of those accounts are useless due to people using two factor authentication.
(Also I am guessing this came from a dodgy app or a phishing site)
Welp I'm gonna change my password and add two step verification
[B]EDIT:[/B]
Oh, I already have Two-Step verification set up.
Hopefully I'm still safe.

Thats the download link for the text file, [B]it is without passwords[/B].
Edit: Somebody was faster....

[del]Now extremely paranoid that Gmail does not seem to be loading for me.[/del]Got 2 factor auth on though so hopefully that'd keep my account safe.
Most popular passwords: [url]http://pastebin.com/T9PffikD[/url]
massive panic attack.
But from what I've read most western users shouldnt panic unless stated otherwise.
I was almost hoping I'd get all excited if I was on the list
But apparently even though this is the first and only time a service I use has been hacked I still haven't had my shit leaked
with passwords

personally, I wouldn't be very concerned. my first lost email's password was leaked, but the one listed is my own from around 2007, which isn't the right one either. I'm not the only one to find their accounts password leaked only to see the password hasn't been in use for years
[editline]aa[/editline]
to add onto this, you may want to double check anyway. some people are posting that the passwords are much newer and even some still in use, while you also got cases where the passwords seems to near 10 years of age.
Phew, I'm not on the list, but I have 2 stage verification connected to my phone so I should be aight either way.
Mine wasn't on there but still setting up two step verification
Well no match on my name in the list, thank fuck.
Holy fuck those email addresses
interesting, my email turned up on there but the password associated with it is about a year and a half old
[editline]13:37[/editline]
that also may have been my facepunch password until 5 minutes ago
[editline]13:37[/editline]
and my twitter password
[editline]13:37[/editline]
and soundcloud
[editline]13:37[/editline]
fuck
I am on the list, but the password is from 5+ years ago.
Thank goodness.

How new is the info?[/QUOTE]
The passwords and usernames were collected over several years using various phishing methods.

it's hard to tell. just saw someone post in CIPWTTKT and their password was as recent as 2012
Checked my e-mail and my friends and families e-mail, nothing came up so I'm good on that note, no need to change anything.
That article's feature image though
