A malware researcher has discovered a spamming operation that has been drawing on a list of 711.5 million email addresses.The scale of the scheme appears to make it the biggest find of its kind.The addresses – and in some cases associated passwords – have apparently been gathered to help spread banking malware.Members of the public can check if their accounts have been affected via the Have I Been Pwned service.Its operator, Troy Hunt, acknowledged that some of the listed addresses corresponded to non-existent accounts.But he added that the number that had been collated still totalled a “mind-boggling amount”.
