Anatomy of Exposure: Mapping Victims in a Credential Theft Epidemic

Zynap presents an analysis of a 1.2 billion credential sample collected from infostealer malware in late January 2025, finding gaming platforms (notably Roblox), Facebook, and government portals among the most affected; Gmail dominated compromised usernames, 77% of passwords fell in a low bit-strength range, infections were concentrated on PCs and across many countries (notably Brazil and India), and the report highlights regional vulnerabilities and the need for layered defenses such as MFA and system updates.
