Is your email password compromised?

[brumble49]

There is an easy way to check if your email address and password are known to the hacking community.

Go to this site:

https://haveibeenpwned.com/

There you can enter your email and it will tell you if you are on any of the lists.

Once it has done that, it will no doubt offer services to help security.

For more info on the site, check out wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_I_Been_Pwned%3F

If you are on the list, you want to change passwords on all your online accounts that use that password. Do this by visiting the relevent sites in the browser and changing passwords in the user control panels. Don't respond to emails telling you to change your password.
