    On May 12, Tumblr revealed that it had just found out about a 2013 data breach affecting a set of users email addresses and passwords, but the company refused to reveal how many users were affected.

    As it turns out, that number is 65 million, according to an independent analysis of the data.
    Troy Hunt, a security researcher who maintains the data breach awareness portal Have I Been Pwned, recently obtained a copy of the stolen data set.

    Hunt told Motherboard that the data contained 65,469,298 unique emails and passwords. (Tumblr did not immediately respond to a request to confirm the figure).

    It's a super site. I got an email recently from them saying that my email address was part of the linkedin leak. LinkedIn still haven't told me directly that I was one of the affected.

    That's pretty shyte all right. It would seem that at Least Netflix and Facebook are doing something about the over half-a-billion user name and passwords that were exposed from the LinkedIn, Tumblr and MySpace leaks. Now add Twitter to that :mad:.
