The supermassive leak contains data from numerous previous breaches, comprising an astounding 12 terabytes of information, spanning over a mind-boggling 26 billion records. The leak, which contains LinkedIn, Twitter, Weibo, Tencent, and other platforms’ user data, is almost certainly the largest ever discovered.
There are data leaks, and then there’s this. A supermassive Mother of all Breaches (MOAB for short) includes records from thousands of meticulously compiled and reindexed leaks, breaches, and privately sold databases. The full and searchable list is included at the end of this article.
Bob Dyachenko, cybersecurity researcher and owner at SecurityDiscovery.com, together with the Cybernews team, has discovered billions upon billions of exposed records on an open instance whose owner is unlikely ever to be identified.

• You can check if your data was exposed in historic data breaches using the Cybernews data leak checker. Our team is working hard to update the tool and provide you with means to check if your data was exposed in the MOAB.
  
  

According to the team, while the leaked dataset contains mostly information from past data breaches, it almost certainly holds new data, that was not published before. For example, the Cybernews data leak checker, which relies on data from all major data leaks, contains information from over 2,500 data breaches with 15 billion records.
The MOAB contains 26 billion records over 3,800 folders, with each folder corresponding to a separate data breach. While this doesn’t mean that the difference between the two automatically translates to previously unpublished data, billions of new records point to a very high probability, the MOAB contains never seen before information.

As I wrote earlier here - https://breachforums.hn/Thread-11TB-MOAB...#pid372433 and here https://breachforums.hn/Thread-11TB-MOAB...#pid372464
, this is just a huge collection of public leaks.In fact, there is little or nothing private in the list provided by the source of the article (you can find the list here - https://cybernews.com/security/billions-.../#comments archived - https://web.archive.org/web/202401231530.../#comments and https://archive.is/gbfxF).The researchers just found a large collection of some collector's public leaks and made a sensation out of it.

What should you do if you want to have the same data set?It's very simple! - download a couple of torrents from this thread - https://breachforums.hn/Thread-Exhaustiv...ht=MyCloud and download the entire official section - https://breachforums.hn/Announcement-Database-Index  (in the spirit of those researchers, I remind you that there are 15,077,090,976 lines, of course there are duplicates, but the original article also writes about a similar problem - "While the team identified over 26 billion records, duplicates are also highly likely. However, the leaked data contains far more information than just credentials – most of the exposed data is sensitive and, therefore, valuable for malicious actors." - https://cybernews.com/security/billions-.../#comments ).End.

Thinking about this, surely this has to be a torrent? No way you are just going to download an archive that big...
