Have you been pwned?

Hello, all,

Have you been pwned?

There’s a website that I just discovered that might reveal if your email addresses have been found as part of any data breaches. https://haveibeenpwned.com

Worth looking at.

Adobe: In October 2013, 153 million Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, encrypted password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and many were quickly resolved back to plain text. The unencrypted hints also disclosed much about the passwords adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe customers already faced.
