Have I Been Pwned?

Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP) is a website which lets you know if your user names and email addresses have been compromised by data breaches. A ‘breach’ happens when a hacker illegally obtains data from a vulnerable system usually by exploiting a weakness in the software. This data is made publicly available which helps HIBP to allow users to search for their own information by entering their username or email address. Users can also sign up to be notified if their email address appears in future dumps.

Thus, if you realize that you are ‘pwned’, then you should change the passwords on compromised accounts. You may use this site at least once a year as part of a security and privacy check-up.
