Simple Way To Know If Your E-mail Account Is Safe

in #technology6 years ago (edited)

Today, I came across a website ( https://haveibeenpwned.com/ ).
This website tells you, if your email account has been found in any recent data breaches or hack.So. I thought of using this website once and I entered my Email ID and pressed enter. And to my surprise, My 2 email accounts were hacked twice. One was among 2889 different data breaches .It occurred recently in February 2018 which exposed 80 million email accounts from different websites which included ( http://www.libero.it/ ; https://www.plex.tv/ ; https://www.malwarebytes.com/ ; https://www.daemon-tools.cc/ ) and 2889 other websites . The hacked data contained email and passwords which were of 9 GB in size in text form . This file was found circulating on reddit also.
The other hack contained data from a website that I used for my exam preparation.
