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.

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.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
