Largest Data Breach in History: *16 Billion* Login Credentials Exposed in Databases

Security researchers have uncovered potentially the largest data breach in history, comprising an astounding 16 billion login credentials, which include Apple accounts.

9to5Mac reports that a team of security researchers has stumbled upon a massive trove of stolen login credentials, exposing an unprecedented 16 billion records, including Apple accounts. The discovery, which researchers describe as “one of the largest data breaches in history,” has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community and raised serious concerns about the potential for widespread account takeovers, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing attacks.

The researchers, from the cybersecurity firm Cybernews, initially found a database containing 184 million records sitting unprotected on a web server last month. However, as they delved deeper, they realized that this was just one of many unsecured databases full of private information. Further investigation revealed an additional 29 datasets, each containing tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records. In total, the researchers uncovered a staggering 16 billion records, making this one of the biggest stolen login discoveries of all time.

What sets this breach apart from others is the freshness and organization of the data. The researchers emphasized that these are not just recycled old breaches, but rather “fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale.” The neatly structured data, which includes URLs, usernames, and passwords, points to infostealers as the likely source. Infostealers are a type of malware specifically designed to collect login credentials in this exact format.

The implications of this breach are far-reaching and deeply concerning. With access to such a vast number of login credentials, cybercriminals can easily carry out account takeovers, steal identities, and launch highly targeted phishing campaigns. Apple accounts, which are among the exposed credentials, are particularly worrisome, as they can be used to access a wide range of sensitive information and services, including iCloud, Apple Pay, and the App Store. Other logins reportedly included in the massive datasets include Google, Facebook, instagram, Amazon, and many other popular web services.

HERE WE GO: Judge Hannah Dugan’s Trial for Obstruction of ICE Agents is OFF the Calendar as Court Possibly Rules on Motion to Dismiss Case

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan’s trial for obstruction of ICE agents is now off the calendar as the court possibly rules on her motion to dismiss the case.

Last month Hannah Dugan moved to dismiss the case against her one day after a federal grand jury indicted her on two counts for obstructing an ICE arrest.

Dugan’s attorneys cited the 10th Amendment, official acts as a judge and judicial immunity.

A federal grand jury previously indicted Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.

Dugan is facing up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines.

Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for obstructing an ICE arrest in April.

According to the FBI, Judge Hannah Dugan obstructed an immigration arrest operation last month. Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Judge Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse.”

The shocking criminal complaint detailed Judge Dugan’s actions to intimidate federal agents and how she helped the illegal alien evade arrest.

Crazy: Rulings by Biden DOJ and Federal Judge Block Trump DHS From Deporting El Salvadoran Gang Member With Multiple Convictions–Including Murder: Report

How crazy is the United States immigration enforcement system? An El Salvadoran man alleged to be a member of the Surenos gang living in Los Angeles who was convicted of murder and other violent crimes is being protected from deportation by the Trump administration because of a December 2024 Biden Department of Justice ruling protecting the killer from being sent back to El Salvador over fears of torture, and a 2025 nationwide injunction by a federal judge delaying deputations to third party countries.

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin filed a stunning report after doing a ride-along with Homeland Security agents when they went to arrest Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara on a deportation order.

Guevara did not resist arrest. He shocked unaware agents and Melugin when he told them as he was being led into an ICE detention center, “I have CAT, I have CAT,” shorthand for DCAT, Deferral of Removal under the Convention Against Torture protection from deportation.

Guevara explained, “I just got CAT on December the 18th of last year by the BIA. You can call my lawyer.”

Asked by Melugin if he was a convicted murderer, Guevara responded, “I am free.”

ICE confirmed Guevara’s protected status and released him later that day, only to go pick him up the following day. He remains in custody as a threat to public safety while the Trump administration works on deporting him.

DHS debunks Dodgers’ claim that ICE attempted a raid at stadium on game day

The Department of Homeland Security poured cold water on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ claim that there was an attempted Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid at their stadium on Thursday.

The reigning World Series champs’ official X account claimed that ICE agents had requested access to the Dodger Stadium parking lot Thursday morning, with the team touting that it had denied the agents entry — in the wake of Los Angeles being ground zero of resistance against the Trump administration’s immigration raids.

DHS officials, however, said that the team’s grandstanding was irrelevant because there was never an operation in the works at the stadium.

“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” the agency wrote on X. “CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement.”

‘Who Was Running the Country?’ – Witnesses Testify on Biden Health Cover-Up, Autopen Scandal 

The Senate Judiciary Committee brought in three witnesses to testify on Joe Biden’s mental and health decline on Wednesday.

Former White House Press Secretary under Trump 1.0, Sean Spicer, former DOJ official under Trump, Theodore Wold, and University of Virginia law professor John Harrison testified in a Senate hearing.

Theodore Wold said Biden’s autopen was deployed day 5 of his presidency. Wold said there is no evidence to suggest that Joe Biden authorized use of the autopen.

A third Biden autopen was recently discovered amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup.

President Trump recently directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.”

Florida Officials Gave Commercial Driver’s Licenses to Illegals; Arrests Made

Call them 18-wheeler and dealers — or just call them criminal and dangerous. But if you’re wondering why some semi-truck drivers today don’t seem very skilled and may not even speak English, wonder no more. Because, it has been revealed, some Florida officials were giving illegal aliens commercial driver’s licenses in exchange for bribes. This means, of course, that these migrants were circumventing the testing process and have no proven qualifications.

What’s more, the uncovered scheme centered around just one Sunshine State county. Similar scams are presumably operative in additional counties and other states — especially “blue” states with high illegal-alien populations.

Not Quite Maximum Overdrive, but Maximal Corruption

The Panama City News Herald reported on the story last Friday, writing:

Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford on June 12 announced the arrest of eight people in connection to a local scandal involving driver’s licenses being fraudulently issued.

According to a BCSO [Bay County Sheriff’s Office] news release, the investigation began May 20 after “suspicious driver’s license transactions” were discovered. It found that two employees of the Bay County Tax Collector’s office were being bribed to provide licenses to people who did not meet the requirements to obtain them.

“The investigation substantiated that two public employees were issuing licenses to aliens with varying legal statuses without providing the required testing,” Ford said during a news conference.

“These weren’t minor shortcuts,” Ford said. “These were intentional acts of corruption where individuals paid bribes in exchange for skipping critical safety evaluations. … Putting untested, unqualified drivers, especially those with commercial licenses, on our roads is an unacceptable risk to every family in this state.”

The local DMV employees arrested were Bancelie Velazco, 37, and Demetrius Smith, 30. Both are Panama City residents.

“Investigators learned (Velazco and Smith) were indeed issuing an unusually large number of driver’s licenses and, when in-house video at the DMV was reviewed, investigators confirmed the individuals receiving the licenses were bypassing the required tests necessary to lawfully receive a license,” the release reads. “These individuals were coming from across the state of Florida to Bay County to receive the driver’s licenses.”

In fact, a “large number” of licenses is an understatement because, apparently, the two officials really jumped the corruption shark. For example, as American Thinker’s Wendi Strauch Mahoney tells us:

Smith reportedly administered 295 driving tests in a single month — far above the average of about 20 to 25.

Military Couple Refuses to Surrender Constitutional Rights to the U.S. Air Force, As an Active-Duty Service Member’s Career Hangs in the Balance … With No Pay

The spouse of an active-duty member of the Air Force stands in the gap for her husband of 11 years. Together, the family is facing an uphill battle against the Department of Defense for exercising the innate rights of all U.S citizens, rights that service members do not relinquish.

Maj. Brennan Schilperoort is a C-130J transport aircraft pilot who has honorably served the nation in the Air Force for over 17 years. Maj. Schilperoort applied for a flu shot medical exemption in November 2023, previously having a severe adverse reaction to it, but the Air Force refused him consideration. Another service member he personally knows was granted a medical exemption that same month for “headaches.”

With evidence mounting about the safety, efficacy, testing, and research surrounding the unlawful COVID-19 shot mandate since 2021, Maj. Schilperoort also discovered significant issues surrounding the flu shots. Medical options exhausted, he asserted his Constitutionally-protected rights in December 2023 to object to the flu vaccine for moral and religious reason, requesting a Religious Accommodation. The request was ignored in violation of the Air Force’s own regulations and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

While those who ignore regulations continue to walk scot-free, Maj. Schilperoort was punished for his decision. While his case is still in appeal, the C-130J pilot has been placed on a no-pay status since mid-March for taking an objection grounded in his faith and the Constitution.

Davis Younts, Maj. Schilperoort’s military defense attorney with 23 years of experience, stresses that removing pay from an officer like this is “in my experience only reserved for violent criminals or those already incarcerated.” Interestingly, it should also be noted that the Air Force pilot has not had a documented case of the flu nor has he had the shot in the last four years. The Air Force allowed him to continue working alongside his coworkers the entire time.

Still considered an active-duty service member (emphasis added), Maj. Brennan Schilperoort is no longer able to provide for his family, having gone without pay for three months while appealing his case. If the pending appeal is denied, he will also face administrative separation from the Air Force he has faithfully served for most of his adult life.

The Depopulation Plan

“There is, in case you hadn’t noticed, a plan to reduce the world’s population,” Dr. Vernon Coleman begins his new ‘Old Man in a Chair’ video.

They aim to reduce the world’s population by 90% through various means, including the global warming myth, massive immigration, the end of medicine, the destruction of farming and economies, and wars.

Dr. Coleman says that the depopulation plan involves pushing up food prices, increasing hunger-related deaths and promoting vaccines without examining side effects, with the ultimate goal of gaining control and setting up a world government.

The plan also involves saving money by cutting spending on pensions, benefits, welfare and medical care, with examples including the Liverpool Care Pathway, “Do Not Resuscitate” notices, and the deliberate murder of elderly people during the covid pandemic.

The aim is to reduce the world’s population to 500 million, with euthanasia being promoted as a means to save money.  The medical establishment is being manipulated to prioritise global warming over patient care, leading to a lack of decent palliative care and an increase in demand for euthanasia.

Governments are saving money by killing people, particularly the long-term sick, elderly and disabled, and using the saved funds to kill more people.

Another Nail in the EV Coffin

Matthew Lynn’s latest column in Telegraph has flagged up a WhatCar? survey that reveals EVs are the most likely to leave you stranded by the roadside. He summarises the survey’s main findings:

 Exclusive What Car? research shows that electric vehicles (EVs) suffer more breakdowns than diesel, hybrid or petrol models, and that EVs are the least likely to be fixed at the roadside.

What Car? asked 29,967 car owners about their breakdown experiences over the past two years as part of the most recent What Car? Reliability Survey, conducted in association with MotorEasy.

Overall, 11% of survey participants said their car had broken down in the past two years, but the breakdown rate for EV owners was 16.8%, the highest of all fuel types. In contrast, 10.7% of petrol-powered cars needed to be recovered, 14% of hybrids broke down and 15% of diesel vehicles.

Lynn is excoriating in his judgement of EVs:

They will save the planet, they are quieter, they will rebuild local industries, and they even come with attractive tax breaks. Rewind a couple of years, and there were plenty of reasons for buying a shiny new Tesla or Polestar electric vehicle instead of an old-fashioned, high-pollution, petrol or diesel car.

And yet, one by one, all those arguments have been punctured. They won’t help the environment as much as we think, they are mostly made in China, the tax breaks are gone, and now we learn that they are more likely to break down as well.

Along with higher insurance costs, EVs are rapidly being exposed as the expensive choice:

The faults on EV’s were less likely to be something that could be fixed on the side of the road by an emergency repair service, meaning that motorists were less likely to be able to complete their journey, and might have to pay for an expensive towing service as well.

And of course, if something does go wrong it will probably cost more to fix, with surveys suggesting that EVs cost 30% to 50% more to repair than petrol cars, while replacing the tyres if you get a puncture will be pricey as well, with each one, according to one survey, costing £77 more on average than traditional vehicles.

Gov. Hochul Pledges $50 Million in Legal Aid for Migrants — Stefanik Slams “Illegals First, New Yorkers Last” Policy

In a move drawing sharp criticism from New Yorkers and political rivals alike, Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the State of New York will allocate $50 million in taxpayer funds to cover legal fees for migrants. The funding, Hochul says, will be used to provide immigration legal services amid the ongoing influx of illegal border crossers resettled in New York.

The announcement comes on the heels of a controversial incident involving New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who was briefly detained by ICE after interfering in an immigration enforcement operation. Lander demanded that ICE agents produce a warrant during an arrest and attempted to block their actions. He was later released—reportedly after pressure from state officials, including Hochul herself.

Critics say this pattern of prioritizing undocumented immigrants over law-abiding citizens is part of a growing crisis in New York. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a rising Republican star and strong contender for the governorship, blasted Hochul’s decision:

“$50 MILLION of New Yorkers’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars are being used for illegal migrants’ legal fees because of Kathy Hochul’s ‘illegals first, New Yorkers last’ failed leadership in NY. VOTE HER OUT.”

The $50 million payout comes at a time when residents are grappling with rising crime, economic uncertainty, and housing shortages. Many New Yorkers are frustrated with what they see as a lack of support for citizens, veterans, and struggling families—while migrants receive state-funded benefits, housing, and now, legal representation.
