The total amount of data collected by the malware includes nearly 26 million login credentials holding 1.1 million unique email addresses, 2 billion+ cookies and 6.6 million files.
The report also contains in-depth details of the number of credentials stolen and the softwares that the data was extracted from. All of this data was stolen from 3.25 million computers. More than 50% of the stolen files were text files which is concerning because many people use Notepad to store their passwords, personal notes and other sensitive information.
