How to check if your email account has been hacked?

in #security8 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemit! For you will not be news that is sometimes large corporations and websites undergo hacker attacks. I'm sure you have heard about the recent hacking MySpace social network, in which it was hacked more than 360 million accounts. Despite this, history knows many such incidents. For example LinkedIn (160 million accounts, May 2016), Badoo (140 million accounts, June 2016), Adobe (150 million accounts, October 2013) and so on. It is definitely scary. Your credit card details, photo, and other personal information could fall into the hands of criminals. And you would never know about it, but now i wanna show you how to check if your email account has been hacked.

By the way, I found myself in 3 public databases. So, let's check your account:

  1. Go to the web-site called "Have i been pwned?".
  2. Enter e-mail address that you would like to check and click "pwned?"

You will see two scenarios:
You have been hacked:

Everything is fine:

If you have the same situation as me (your account has been compromised), a little below, you can see exactly when your account has been hacked.

My email account has been hacked 3 times. Fortunately i insured from all possible consequences, because i often change my passwords.
