Earlier this week, reports came out claiming that 183 million Gmail passwords were exposed in a data leak. Google has since come out to dispute this claim (via its X account), attributing "inaccurate reports" to "stemming from a misunderstanding of infostealer databases."
As spotted by Bleeping Computer, this report was picked up by major outlets, but it seems to have come from a database that compiled "various credential theft activity occurring across the web". Effectively, the data appears to be a broader database, rather than the result of a single new attack, and crucially, doesn't represent "any one person, tool, or platform."
