Passwords hacked worldwide: UAE cybersecurity experts urge companies to boost IT security

UAE-based cybersecurity experts are urging companies to boost password security to stay ahead of emerging threats in every aspect of operations, following news over the weekend that more than 16 billion login credentials globally were found exposed. The breach contains usernames and passwords from tech giants like Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram, GitHub, and even some government websites, according to researchers at Cybernews, who said the findings were the result of an ongoing investigation that the team started early this year. They warned: 'With more than 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing. It is especially alarming that these aren't just old breaches being recycled. This is fresh, weaponisable intelligence at scale.' Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dubai-based cybersecurity Rayad Kamal Ayub said: 'The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. This is weaponising intelligence at scary scales for extortion. 'With such a significant number of login records compromised, the potential for abuse is immense. Cybercriminals can leverage these fresh datasets to orchestrate more sophisticated attacks, making it easier for them to impersonate individuals and gain access to sensitive information. The fact that these records are recent means that they reflect current user behaviors and trends, which can enhance the effectiveness of phishing attempts and other forms of exploitation,' added Ayub, who is also the managing director of Rayad Group. Ayub said although the UAE has achieved a top-tier classification in the Global Cybersecurity Index 2024, it is strongly advised for organisations to boost password security by using password managers, enforcing minimum length and complexity standards, and enabling multi-factor authentication. Companies should also regularly audit access controls, monitor for credential leaks, and adopt real-time detection solutions. 'It is advisable to hire professionals or cybersecurity companies to maintain databases and access control. Hospitals, banks and retailers should keep their data unencrypted and not put customers at risk,' added Ayub, who noted in the data leak 'Ana' appeared in 178.8 million instances. Joker, Batman, Thor, apple, rice used as passwords Ayub said profane language also showed up in 165 million passwords; while few of the frequently used pop culture terms in passwords included 'Mario' (9.6 million), 'Joker' (3.1 million), 'Batman' (3.9 million), and "Thor" (6.2 million). More than 10 million of the passwords featured 'apple', 4.9 million passwords have 'rice', and 3.6 million "orange," while 3.3 million opted for "pizza." Carolyn Duby, field CTO and cybersecurity GTM lead at Cloudera, noted: 'Cybercrime is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion by 2025, having already cost $9.5 trillion in 2024 alone. 'Attacks by ransomware now happen every 11 seconds, and the average cost of a data breach has increased to $4.88 million. Companies using automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in their security operations are saving $2.22 million on average for each breach. Duby underscored 'data is both a strategic asset and a prime target. Protecting data at scale calls for intelligence, adaptability, trust, and immediate call to action to avoid massive data breaches. She recommended the first and most crucial step in protecting consumer trust is securing critical and personally identifiable information (PII). 'All data is equal in the eyes of AI, and will be used blindly, unless proper parameters are set,' she underscored. Detect, protect, defend, repeat Louise Bou Rached, director–Middle East, Turkey, and Africa at Milestone Systems, reiterated: "Today, protecting the future of innovation, reputation, and digital freedom requires more than just preventing breaches. 'Companies must implement a layered, zero-trust strategy that goes beyond reactive defense and involves constant verification of each user, device, and application. Strong access controls, multi-factor authentication, endpoint security, and frequent security audits are all part of this,' she added. Maintaining basic cyber hygiene is essential. But more importantly, according to the cybersecurity experts, protecting companies from cyberthreats is a collective thrust. 'Cybersecurity is now a fundamental component of trust, resilience, and business continuity in today's hyperconnected world, not just an internal IT function,' Rached pointed out, underscoring: 'Given that even the most sophisticated systems can be compromised with a single click, encouraging staff members through cybersecurity awareness training is equally crucial.'

Telegram's Pavel Durov to Divide Wealth Among His 100+ Kids

In true plot-twist fashion, Pavel Durov—founder of encrypted messaging giant Telegram —is planning to share his multi-billion-dollar fortune with over 100 children across the globe. Yes, 100+, and no, this isn't a sci-fi storyline. Speaking to French magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old tech mogul confirmed he has fathered six official children, along with dozens more through sperm donations in at least 12 countries. "I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death," he told the publication. His goal? Equal rights and zero posthumous drama. But don't expect these heirs to be cashing in anytime soon. Durov revealed that none of the kids—official or donor-conceived—will have access to their inheritance for another 30 years. 'I want them to live like normal people... to build themselves up alone... not to be dependent on a bank account,' he said, explaining that character matters more than cash. Based in Dubai, Durov recently made his will, citing the risks that come with his mission to defend freedom and privacy in an increasingly monitored world. 'Defending freedoms earns you many enemies, including within powerful states,' he noted. Telegram, launched in 2013, has become one of the world's most-used messaging platforms, clocking over a billion users monthly. But its unfiltered nature hasn't gone unnoticed by law enforcement. French authorities arrested Durov last year for allegedly failing to combat criminal activity on Telegram—accusations he firmly rejects. 'Just because criminals use our messaging service among many others doesn't make those who run it criminals,' he said. From creating an app used by millions to now creating… a massive inheritance plan for over 100 kids, Durov is definitely in a league of his own.
