Exactly the total amount of Clear Text Credentials (usernames/clear text password pairs) is 1,400,553,869 and 14% of exposed username/passwords pairs had not previously been decrypted by the community and are now available in clear text.

“This new breach adds 385 million new credential pairs, 318 million unique users, and 147 million passwords pertaining to those previous dumps.”
