Urgent alert for Americans as 184 million passwords leak in major data breach - what you must do now
A cybersecurity expert named Jeremiah Fowler found a huge online database that was not protected. This database had over 184 million records, including emails, passwords, and login links, all in plain text. The leaked info is linked to big companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and even banks and government services, according to the report by Wired. Fowler said this leak is more dangerous than usual because it gives direct access to people's accounts. He called it a "cybercriminal's dream working list". This leak can cause identity theft, fraud, and hacking if people don't act, according to 2023, data breaches increased by 72%, even though about 353 million were affected. But in 2024, even though the number of breaches stayed high, the number of people affected jumped by 312%. This was because of mega-breaches like this one. Many companies are now using cloud services like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure to save money, but this also increases the risk of hacking. An IBM report said 82% of breaches last year involved cloud-stored data, as per Wall Street Journal report. Overseas support agents at the crypto exchange app Coinbase were allegedly bribed by hackers on May 11 for getting access to the app's customer database. Coinbase didn't pay ransom, but the damage could still cost them up to $400 million. Change your passwords immediately. Each account should have a unique password and should consist of as many keypad characters as possible to maintain its strength. Don't reuse the same or similar passwords on multiple websites. Use multi-factor authentication wherever possible. This adds an extra safety layer. Freeze your credit with the 3 major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. It won't hurt your score but stops new accounts being opened in your name, as per the report by Moneywise. Try tools like Google's Password Checkup to see if your login info has already been leaked. If it has, change those passwords now. Set up transaction alerts on your credit cards to catch any weird activity early. Make sure your email and phone number linked to your bank and shopping accounts are up to date, so you get alerts quickly. Teresa Murray summed it up best, 'This is a wake-up call for people who haven't been careful online', as per reports. Q1. What was leaked in the password breach? Emails, passwords, and login links from many big platforms were leaked. Q2. What should a person do if their data gets leaked? Change your passwords, turn on two-factor login, and freeze your credit if needed.

TN launches SimpleGov to fast-track certificates, NOCs
Chennai: Want to start a hotel, open a hostel, or just get a passport as a govt employee? You no longer have to run across departments. The Tamil Nadu govt has launched SimpleGov — a digitised, self-declaration-based system to issue key certificates and NOCs in a day, skipping months of red tape. The initial rollout covers ten services — including sanitation certificates, public building licences, registration for old age homes, hostels for working women and women's homes, solvency certificates, white category industries list, NOCs for converting wetlands to non-agricultural use, good conduct certificates, and NOCs for govt staff applying for passports. The services were launched by Chief Minister M K Stalin, and the govt plans to add 150 services to this soon. Until now, several of these services required physical documents, in-person inspections, and long processing times — often stretching from several weeks to more than a year. With SimpleGov, most services will be delivered within a day, using digital KYC, QR codes, automated workflows, and self-declaration forms. PWC Davidar, advisor, SimpleGov, said one of the most important reforms was NOCs for govt employees applying for passports. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services - Google Cloud: Future of Infrastructure CIO | Google Cloud, AMD Undo "The Secretariat clears about 500 passport NOCs for officials every week, the highest being from the school education department. We've now amended procedures so officials just need to upload a prior intimation letter on the IFHRMS portal. They can proceed with their passport applications without a formal NOC," he said. Getting sanitation certificates — a key requirement for businesses such as hotels and resorts — has also been made simpler. "Earlier, paperwork for these certificates crossed at least 30 tables without any value addition and took a month. Now, applicants can upload a self-declaration on cleanliness, working toilets, and no mosquito breeding on the e-governance portal. They will get an automated certificate immediately. But there will be provisions for public health officials to inspect at any time," Davidar said. Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA) director M Govinda Rao said that SimpleGov services have been integrated into both departmental portals and the TNeGA platform. "It's being improved regularly," he said. A high-level committee will monitor the rollout.
