Hundreds of millions of hacked usernames and passwords for email accounts and other websites are being traded in Russia's criminal underworld, according to a security expert.
Alex Holden, founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security, told Reuters the 272.3 million stolen accounts are linked to popular providers such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Russia's most popular email service Mail.ru.
Mr Holden has previously played a key role in uncovering some of the world's biggest data breaches, which affected tens of millions of users at Adobe Systems, JPMorgan and Target.
The latest discovery is one of the largest stashes of stolen credentials to be uncovered since major US banks and retailers were affected by cyber attacks two years ago.
This information is potent. It is floating around in the underground and this person has shown he's willing to give the data away to people who are nice to him. These credentials can be abused multiple times.

After being informed of the potential breach, Mail.ru said in a statement: "We are now checking whether any combinations of usernames/passwords match users' e-mails and are still active. As soon as we have enough information we will warn the users who might have been affected."
A spokesman for Microsoft said: "Microsoft has security measures in place to detect account compromise and requires additional information to verify the account owner and help them regain sole access."
Google and Yahoo told the BBC that they are investigating the incident.
