This website has close to 1 Billion Hacked Accounts Information. I found out that 5 of my accounts have been hacked in recent years.
Enter your email address or username and this site will tell you if your account has been hacked in an online security breach. You can also choose to get notified automatically, if your account gets hacked in the future, by using ' Notify me when I get pwned' option.
If your account has been hacked, then:
- Change the password on respective website
- If you use the same password on other websites then change it there as well
- Be careful about phishing emails in future. (To know about phishing you can visit "How to Spot a Phish" Infographic - PhishMe)
