Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) has recently integrated a massive dataset of 23 billion rows of stolen credentials from the ALIEN TXTBASE stealer logs. This integration has exposed 284 million unique email addresses that were compromised through infostealer malware. The data, which includes 244 million previously unseen passwords, was originally shared on the Telegram channel ALIEN TXTBASE. HIBP users who are signed up to be notified when their emails appear in a database dump will receive a notification email. All users can also check manually via the service’s website.

This staggering collection of information is a result of likely millions of people's computers being infected by one or more data-stealing malware strains. This addition of stolen credentials highlights the scale of unstoppable infostealer malware. HIBP has also added 244 million new compromised passwords to Pwned Passwords.
