News of a significant data breach involving many well-known companies has sparked discussions in the cryptocurrency space. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino commented on the situation and proposed a new solution.

Magnitude of the Data Breach

Reports indicate a breach involving roughly 16 billion passwords. The incident affected major online companies such as Google, Apple, and Facebook, jeopardizing the security of users who store their passwords online. Ardoino noted that this incident highlights weaknesses in cloud technologies.

Introduction of PearPass

In response to the breach, Ardoino announced a solution called PearPass — an open-source and local password manager. According to him, this solution will help avoid data breaches as passwords will be stored locally rather than in cloud systems. Notably, PearPass will not be based on blockchain.

Tether's Impact on Security in the Crypto Industry

As a leading stablecoin issuer, Tether is actively working on security issues in the digital world. Ardoino expressed concern about many crypto users storing their passwords in the cloud or recovering them via email. He emphasized that the company has blocked approximately $2.7 billion connected to illegal activity, indicating Tether's commitment to compliance and user protection.

The recent breach underscores the importance of digital security in the contemporary cryptocurrency landscape. The introduction of solutions like PearPass could play a crucial role in preventing similar incidents in the future.
