Hundreds of millions of hacked account details from social networks MySpace and Tumblr have been advertised for sale online.

The incident comes the same month it emerged that a four-year-old database containing more than 167 million LinkedIn IDs had been traded online.
One expert said it was “intriguing” all had emerged in such a short period.

The socials are abuzz.
The millennials got robbed.
Passwords abound.
