The website, Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), is a free data leak search engine developed by an Australian white hat hacker.

The website's creator, Troy Hunt, told the Daily Mail that the leak doesn't just affect Gmail users, but other accounts such as those in Outlook and Yahoo.

"They're from everywhere you could imagine, but Gmail always features heavily," Hunt said.

Data from the recent breach was added to HIBP on Oct. 21. with the assistance of threat intelligence service Synthient.
