Millions of Google passwords leaked online; check if yours is safe.

[iSK]

New Delhi: A database containing
about 4.93 million usernames and
passwords of Google accounts was
posted on a Russian Bitcoin security
forum.

The user posting the data claimed
that about 60% of the logins in the
leak were active could be accessed
successfully using the leaked
credentials.

Google in a statement to the media
has, however, denied that the
company's systems were
compromised.

If you are concerned about whether
your Google account/Gmail ID is part
of the leaked cache, you can use this
tool to verify. This search tool also
gives an option to privacy-concerned
users to partially mask their email
IDs.

This incident follows close on the
heels of reports that 4.6 million
Mail.ru accounts and over 1.25
million Yandex email IDs were
compromised.
