He added almost 773 million email addresses and over 21 million passwords to his HIBP database. This data was circulating on a hacking forum and was uploaded to Mega, total of 87 GB. 
This breach is a set of email addresses and passwords totalling 2,692,818,238 rows. It's made up of many different individual data breaches from literally thousands of different sources. In total, there are 1,160,253,228 unique combinations of email addresses and passwords. The unique email addresses totalled 772,904,991. There are 21,222,975 unique passwords. Some of these were already known/breached and existed in Troy's database, but 140 million email addresses and 10 million passwords didn't, these are new additions to his database. The list of (allegedly) breached sites: https://pastebin.com/UsxU4gXA
I guess everyone knows this by now, but if not, check here if you have been compromised: https://haveibeenpwned.com
I wasn't aware of this until now, but apart from the email addresses you can check individual passwords too here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords. This can come in handy, if you worry about particular accounts.
Get notified, when you get breached: https://haveibeenpwned.com/NotifyMe (It can be too late though, because obviously it only notifies you of the breach, when it gets uploaded into the database, which can happen a lot later than the actual breach happened.)
