This is the best summary I could come up with:
Bob Dyachenko, owner of SecurityDiscovery.com and researchers from Cybernews discovered the data breach on an unsecured web instance.
The researchers said: 'The dataset is extremely dangerous as threat actors could leverage the aggregated data for a wide range of attacks.'
They say that these attacks could include identity theft, sophisticated phishing schemes, targeted cyberattacks, and unauthorized access to personal and sensitive accounts.
Jake Moore, global cybersecurity advisor for ESET told MailOnline: 'This is an absolutely huge breach of data.
Simply enter your email address or phone number into the search bar and click 'check now' to see whether that account information has been leaked.
'Apart from that, users whose data has been included in supermassive MOAB may become victims of spear-phishing attacks or receive high levels of spam emails.'
