Ultimately, the question remains, how safe are online transactions? Probably not that safe, as more than two million passwords for Facebook, Google, and Yahoo, among others, were stolen and published on the internet.
The codes were discovered by security company executives on a specific website. These are old codes, but experts are sounding the alarm that even something like this is very dangerous.
"We don't know how many of these passwords are still valid. But we do know that 30-40% use the same password on different websites. Something they shouldn't do under any circumstances," said security analyst Graham Cluley.
What remains to be investigated is who is behind the leak. Is it a gang or are they just simple hackers? In any case, the security of transactions in the internet age is a very serious issue.
