POSTS / Check if your email address is in a data breach

Published: 2023-12-22

Just found a website which can check if an email is pwned and give it a test for my emails.

This is the result of one of my emails: haveibeenpwned com_

It brings me to this website and one comment says:

I’m not an engineer or techie. Could someone advise what is my corrective action here? I’m supposed to update my p/w at gravatar.com ?

with another guy replying:

Only your email was exposed, not your password.

Can be used for targeted phishing to try and steal passwords.

OK, this means I should take care of phishing emails instead of directly worrying about password leakage. 🤷
