## What Jamie wrote

This is a huge dump of usernames and passwords. I use 1Password to protect myself from this stuff, and they have a [good blog post](https://blog.1password.com/773-million-collection-1/) on this one. Krebs on Security also [wrote about this massive dump](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/01/773m-password-megabreach-is-years-old/), highlighting that in the big picture this is far from the biggest breach of its kind. 😳
