Mine is on there, but it's from the previous leak by Adobe (I only used that password for my Adobe account). Looks like someone might just be trying to make a quick buck by reselling already available data from previous leaks?

Still no real info on this.  And a lot of site are not even reporting it.  Odd. 

 

It seems that it's gather from several other parts and just joined together into a massive list.

I'm I the only person struggling to open and search that text file?

 

Notepad is obviously going to fall over, but even Wordpad and Word are having trouble with it. I thought Excel might save the day, but even that has a limit.

Maybe just download a command line utility and grep it? Or use Powershell: gc plaintext.txt | select-string -pattern "textstringtofind"

Opened fine in Wordpad in about 6 seconds. Windows 8.1, if it matters. :)

I've never used Powershell, but would I be right in thinking that after launching it, I would change to the directory where the file is stored, e.g.

 

cd desktop

 

then enter the following command...

 

gc google_5000000.txt | select-string -pattern [email protected]

 

I take it the quotes are not needed? should there be a space before -string ?

 

Edit: ok, seems like it's working (no extra space or quotes), but it still takes surprisingly long per search.

 

I suppose the @gmail part isn't really needed.

Opened for me too, but struggles when it comes to searching. I thought it might just be my pc, which is a bit sluggish right now anyway, but I have tried it on multiple machines, and they all struggle with it.

 

I guess these applications are not designed to handle 100MB+ .txt files.

KWrite on Linux works for me, like everything else in Linux land, just works!

Ha! I see what you did there :laugh:

 

Oh, wait! You weren't joking!? :rolleyes:

 

Anyways, notepad++ is doing a much better job of things. Should have thought of that in the first place.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
