I thought i would share an interesting website i came across which allows you to check if an account or email is compromised by some kind of data breach i was shocked to find that my main email address has been compromised which lead me to change the associated password though everything else seems to be safe.
It is very straight-forward to use all one need do is type the respective e-mail address or account name into the text box; hit enter and wait a second, it will then tell you if you have been "pawned" or not. The name of the website is haveibeenpawned.com
