Russian hackers have leaked the email IDs and passwords of as many as 4.93
million Google accounts. The same Google account password is used across all Google products, such as Gmail, Drive, Plus,YouTube, Maps etc.

The account details have been posted on bitcoin forum btcsec.com by a user named Tvskit. On the forum, Tvskit has said that
approximately 60% of the passwords are still active.

Google in a blog post, however, refuted the claim and said that only 2% of the passwords
still work and also said that its automated anti-hijacking systems would have blocked many of the login attempts.
