Thousands of credentials for accounts associated with New Zealand-based file storage service Mega have been published online, ZDNet has learned.

The text file contains over 15,500 usernames, passwords, and files names, indicating that each account had been improperly accessed and file names scraped.

Patrick Wardle, chief research officer and co-founder at Digita Security, found the text file in June after it had been uploaded to malware analysis site VirusTotal some months earlier by a user purportedly in Vietnam. Wardle passed the data to ZDNet.
