Russian Hackers

Russian hackers have taken 1.2 billion passwords and usernames and over a half a billion emails. A theft from Target affected 40 million credit cards and debit cards become one of the largest breaches of all time, but the Russian criminals have taking identity theft to a whole new level. The group of about a dozen people in their 20's appears to be based in south central Russia. While trying to track the online breaches, Hold Security uncovered many major hacks from the past.  Hold Security will provide a tool for people to check to see if their credentials have been stolen. I have seen many cases where someone's account has been hacked. I think that hacking is ridiculous, and it is getting worse by the year. As our technology increases, the amount of hackers increases too.
