Imgur has said 1.7 million passwords and e-mails were stolen back in 2014, and it went unnoticed until Thursday last week.

Apparently, no real names, addresses or phone numbers were involved.

Shocking (not)

What would actually be shocking is to go 6 months without reading about some huge data breach.

It's all adding to the data for identity theft, so it's never good.

Yes, it's become far less of a shock, especially after the big ones of late, Yahoo and importantly, Equifax, which is probably one of the worst.

Engine, nothing was more annoying than when I got my Netflix account hacked the night I was sitting down to watch Stranger Things!

2014?

And no one noticed?

Do/did they even have anyone that was supposed to be watching for this stuff?

This is, in part, what the Eu's GDPR is trying to get to grips with.

The class action suit (still in progress) will be one of the largest in history.
