    Ah, another of these articles…

    Let’s just quote the last part of Troy Hunt’s (the guy running Have I Been Pwned?) Twitter Thread regarding this breach

    This reporting is just getting stupid: “Big brands caught in ‘mother of all breaches’”. These are breaches that date back as far as more than a decade (Adobe), and they’re now in a news headline despite them already being so broadly distributed.

    There are less than 10 billion humans in existence. So this number seems clickbait. After all, these could just be location information of a few persons with per-second accuracy. Much less bad than leaking for example the disease record of an entire country.
