If this is real, why is there no interest in this story?!

Ah.. it says it's not a new leak, just old ones combined. Strange article. The highlight for me was:

"Because COMB is a quick, searchable, well-organized database of past major leaks, it naturally contains past leaks."

I was told that this database also contains user credentials that were unknown to Have I Been Pwned, so maybe there were also some newer or lesser known breaches compiled in. In any case it is a valuable resource when you don't trust services like HIBP. That database contains some ancient user credentials of mine, I should probably check if family and friends are in there as well and if they are, urge them to change those passwords in case they are still using them somewhere.

Thanks. It contained my current email password!
