Have You Been Hacked?

GT182 · 12-26-15, 04:41 PM

Here's a website that can tell you if your User Name or Email Password has been hacked.

A friend of mine had his email password hacked and this site let him know.

My old email was...BBCareAbunchof£%$$ers1997

One question how can I trust that site with my details?

Buddahaid · 12-26-15, 05:17 PM

My thought as well. Have you been hacked? Now you have!

Rule number 1 to 999 you NEVER give away your password to ANYONE.

Certainly food for thought

So I am supposed to access a website that I have never heard of and enter my E-mail and password???

What could possibly go wrong?

If the lamb voluntary climbs into the lion's mouth, is the lion still at fault if it eats the lamb?

I think I will give my address and door key to some strangers and they will promise to tell me if my house is vulnerable for burglary.

Quite a few years ago I was hacked so badly that I couldn't fix things fat enough, I'd fix one thing 10 others would go down!!

All I could do was format the drive, atleast I had a ghost backup, though a few months old. Since then I installed Avira and Comodo firewall.

Never trust everything the internet tells you. Especially crap like this. Cause it'll get you in the end.

I already got hacked bigtime when somebody at OPM dropped the ball. Used to just have fun with the Enigma app now I use it encrypt all of my passwords

As I use to say-Keep your password for your self. Follow the news in the cyberspace. If you should read stuff like

"xxx-millions emails and passwords belonging(forgot what the correct saying/writing is) to steam, have been...(forgot the word)"

Then you should, if you have an account at Steam, change it directly.

You've most certainly been hacked if you are a voter in the US: http://www.databreaches.net/191-mill...ured-database/
Holy crap, 191 million folks potentially affected by this. Sounds like the MCA for data security. Meanwhile in Germany our government thinks it's a good idea to have a centralized data storage for medical records...
