Yes, it’s true—16 billion login credentials were just exposed online.

And while that number is huge, it doesn’t mean your digital life has to be at risk.

So, what happened?

A recently surfaced collection of leaked credentials—reportedly one of the largest ever—has drawn headlines. It includes usernames and passwords for everything from social media and email to banking, streaming services, and beyond.

But here’s the good news: you can absolutely protect yourself.

What This Means for You

This isn’t about scaring you—it’s about staying informed. Most people don’t realize how often password leaks happen in the background, especially if:

  • You reuse the same password across websites

  • You’ve signed up for accounts on lesser-known apps

  • You’ve skipped two-factor authentication (2FA)

The real risk comes when old habits meet new breaches.

Here’s How We Help at Valethorn:

At Valethorn, our job is to keep moments like this from ever becoming emergencies.

We’ll:

  • Check if your credentials have been exposed

  • Replace weak or reused passwords with strong, unique ones

  • Help you upgrade to passkeys where available

  • Set up alerts so you’re the first to know if anything changes

  • Guide you step-by-step—calmly, clearly, and privately

Peace of Mind, Not Panic

You don’t need to memorize a hundred different passwords.
You don’t need to feel paranoid every time there’s a breach.
You just need a system—and someone to help you manage it.

That’s exactly what we do.

Breathe easy. We’ve got you covered.
