slides:none on file

Catalog of breaches shows 15 billion breached records aggregated, Ticketek leaks contain 17.6 million email addresses, and Snowflake intrusions expose corporate backups. Demonstrations include a Grindr account takeover using password‑reset tokens leaked in HTTP responses and a Mailchimp phishing flow that yields an API key to dump a 16,000‑subscriber list. Analysis shows services leaking emails, bcrypt hashes, 2FA secrets (Sproutable) and criminal marketplaces and forums selling data; recommended mitigation: passkeys are non‑fishable.
