I'm sure that some of you may know of the service "Have I Been Pwned?," which allows you to check whether or not you've been compromised via a data breach with a service that you use.
Well, that massive database just hit puberty and embraced a little growth spurt! They're now clocking in 9 gigs worth of half of a billion passwords. NASTY.
Go check to see if you're a victim, and if you are, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.

I was just discussing this with a friend and thought I'd drop the news here for you guys!
Enjoy! And stay safe out there in internet land!
My future brother in law just told me about this site a few weeks ago, had one of my old emails that apparently was compromised pop up when we looked, but that's no surprise considering I used it for tons of spam bullshit. Hope the rest of you don't find yourselves on there :)

Yeah, I just actually double checked to be sure, but I'm still good thankfully. Probably a good thing that I don't do shit on the internet besides playing video games, going on social media and reading novels.

Just putting this out there, as I really don't know about the technicalities of this. But, is it possible that it is that site itself which is stealing passwords, and just going on it is somehow compromising you?

Another lot of breached logins. Wow. This gets tiresome. Thanks for doing the PSA. Especially for us crypto folk. An breached email password combo could very very expensive.
