Hopefully no one will find their name on the list, but bad things do happen. -Hate Title: Re: Gmail Passwords Leaked! Post by: zefirus on September 10, 2014, 01:56:30 pm Absolutely. I read this and then did some homework and recommending our IT dept send out an email regarding this. So many accounts are linked and POC information stored that loosing control of your email can be very bad both personally and professionally.

I make no claims for the trustworthiness or validity of the site, however, you can replace up to 3 char from your email address with * and still search. Title: Re: Gmail Passwords Leaked!

Post by: Claytin on September 10, 2014, 08:46:14 pm I would also recommend for those of you on the list to change your password anywhere else you use that password especially on you financial websites. Would also be a good reminder that this is why you don't use the same password for email/facebook as you do for PayPal and like sites.
Title: Re: Gmail Passwords Leaked! Post by: dozey on September 11, 2014, 12:46:16 am Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I'm happy to see that I'm not a derp and the lookup doesn't reveal any of my gmail addresses. Yay for refusing to use those login/pw anywhere else ever.
Hopefully everyone on the server is not on the list. |
