The RCMP says a Canadian-based company that peddled an illicit trove of 1.5 billion user names and associated passwords has pleaded guilty to criminal charges.

In a news release, the Mounties say Defiant Tech Inc. admitted in court Friday to trafficking in identity information and possession of property obtained by crime a year after charges were laid in the probe.
The investigation began three years ago, when the RCMP learned the website LeakedSource was being hosted on servers in Quebec.
The website, now shut down, had a total of some three billion pieces of data for sale, earning the company about $247,000.

The extensive database was assembled using personal information stolen by hackers in recent years from domains like networking site LinkedIn and extramarital-affair hub ashleymadison.com, the police force said.
