Sure, MySpace which ranks 4th in our list of biggest data breaches of all time is not something you think about anymore, but it seems that the network suffered a massive data breach while it was at its most active. According to LeakedSource.com which has been looking into various data breaches across the world, there are over 360 million accounts involved in the breach. The records include email addresses and passwords. Since some of these accounts had second passwords stored, there are over 427 million passwords available for sale on the dark web. What made many people sigh in relief is that they haven’t actually visited the site in years and that much has changed since then, including the way we protect our accounts nowadays.
