    Have your email addresses, passwords or personal data been compromised over the years from site subscriptions, webstores or other sites you may have used them on?

    Well you can find out right here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

    I've been 'pwned' at Nexus Mods, Creative's site and Stratfor among a few other sites. Its a throwable email address for me so dont really care on that one. Curious about other email addresses though.. will have to check. :D

    Yes I have.
    Moved my personal email to another provider and change passwords on regular basis and 2f authentication.

    Yes, probably from Adobe. Must change some stupid short passwords I did use on some unimportant sites.

    Yes my Steam account was hacked by Russians for months because at the time I was in offline mode. It took me nearly a month to fix everything, had to go back and verify my credit card numbers, etc. Once it was all fixed and changed back to English the damn comrade had the balls to offer to buy my account! I can't repeat what was said in the conversation but I took a screenshot of the whole thing and I'm sure the guys at Valve got a good laugh at it.

    Yep, didn't remember the same happened to me just a couple of months ago - got it fixed in a couple of days. Had to kick some of hackers friends out...

    The worst kind of pwn, if they have your main email address and attempts at extortion are made :D.

    Leak from five places.
    I have unique passwd for each and every account, so no damage done even if those leaks had unencrypted passwd for given service.

    One old as 2012. Going to try to recover it just for fun as I have not played it even before I apparently lost access :D

    I wonder if someone would like to steal my Epic account since I only paid there for Paragon which was great game originally and then they ruined it.
    (But I changed passwd since leak date.)

    One of my secondary mails had game which I already moved to steam. And normal login became unavailable anyway.

    Then there is mortal Online where I registered for beta to never get access in 1st place...
    And last.fm which I tested like decade ago and did not like.

    I would like to thank you for bringing this up to our attention, and yes, I've been "pwned" on 13 websites, but thankfully I've got a different passwords for every website.

    However the most noticeable breaches is my Adobe, Sweclockers and Epic Games account (which apparently was merged from my Unreal Engine account without my knowledge).

    Also I've got a handful of scam mails claiming that they know who I am and will leak my porn fetishes, but I never reply (can't tell if fake or not) and even if they did, so what, everybody knows already... :p

    Would not it be wonderful if those people obsessed with our porn fetishes created some personalized advertising like google/facebook/others do?

    Yep I only have an Epic Account because some nice Russian chap made it for me. When I got the login email, I followed the link, changed the password and took it over. Also today someone was trying to log into my Twitch which I NEVER use but did have 2 Factor on so it was the SMS that got my attention. I'm using a over 20 year old Hotmail address that's been just about everywhere now so I expect shenanigans.

    Its an old site but still good.

    Sorted!

    I don't even recognize the different supposed breaches I don't even have an account at those sites and never did.
