Almost 50 lakh usernames and passwords of Google Mail
users have been leaked to a Russian forum, although Google has denied any
breach in its servers. The Russian forum admins have now removed all the
mentioned passwords and have only left the usernames on the page in question.
While speaking to The Next Web, a Google
spokesperson said that the company had no evidence to believe that its servers
had been breached to procure the user information and if it did, it would have
informed users immediately.
The leaked usernames themselves seem to point
towards primarily English, Russian and Spanish account holders and, according
to The Next Web, seem to have been accumulated over some time.
