This is creating a lot of noise on X. Very thin on actual info. Are the passwords coming from a breach (surely Google, Apple, Fb, wouldn't be storing clear txt passwords?), or phishing? Malware-infected devices?
I'm guessing browser credentials harvested by multiple malware infections since there are several independent datasets. Since browser cookies and URLs are present, it seems unlikely this is from a single service or password manager being breached.
