How to find out if your email and password are hackers
How to find out if your email and password are hackers
Today it is increasingly difficult to keep our data safe; especially email and password, which we use more everywhere.
When we make an account, we have a blind trust
Every time you create an account, you have to "identify" yourself with something, or with your phone number, or with your email address, or with your Google account, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
All would be good if the site you account for would be 100% focused on the security of the data in their possession.
The worst thing is, all accounts are based on an email address
If you now want to log in to a site, you automatically log in with Facebook, but this Facebook is also based on an email address that you used when you signed up.
If a hacker is in possession of an email address, he has access to all of your accounts by resetting your password by email.
How do I get my password and email on the hacker's hand?
From time to time, some large sites or service providers forget the "open back door" and hackers enter and steal data. These are some security breaches that hackers identify and use to steal data, which they then sell online.
How do we find out if our password and email have reached hackers?
On the site https://haveibeenpwned.com/ enter your email and password into search boxes and search. If your email or password has been found in any stolen database, you will receive a red confirmation message on the screen. If your email address is not in any database, then you will receive a message on the screen, displayed on a green background.

I generally know these dangers and that's why I have login in 2 steps, get sms when someone is trying to connect to my account, etc. But is this site safe? I mean, why would I trust my passwords to be there?
do not bang a brother password. just put the password on the official website and right as it is authentication in 2 steps. with confirmation on mobile and at gmail and at yahoo.
No password required. Just email for verification.
Your password is not necessarily stolen.
The email address may appear in hackers' databases. That's how they bombard you with spam.
Very good tutorial, Thank you Cristi.
it's true .... we put blackberries in the mouths of those who are the owners of that site, password-mail, where we certainly have emails, pictures, we have an icloud account ,,,, etc. My opinion is that it's stupid on the face, the safest thing is not to check, but to take the initiative and change the password twice, directly from the yahoo site, gmail, etc., I say twice so that there is no gate where it could say ,,,, , poke the old password so he can't take control again.
how do you give them their password if only e-mail is required on that site ?????? pfff :) :)):
And on the sites where you are registered ... your password is well set (often encrypted)
Yes, sites are broken and information is stolen daily but I say not to give it in paranoia;), you can protect yourself by different methods (changing the password frequently, 2-step authentication .. and notifications in case of something)
the e-mail address on yahoo I think all the sites know but the password I use in yahoo mail I only write in yahoo.
even on the sites at the e-mail address I put myself [especially if I don't have to go in again] one that comes to mind 334 or at home 657anything; more difficult to say is when you enter that site often as e.g. in the forum there you have to compose a password to remember .....
Yes, first of all very educational, the second point (and I'm not embarrassed to write it) is the fact that I found myself with the mail in 10 sites, 4 of them on Adobe, 2 on some torrents, and ( now my perplexity appears) 4 sites where I know for sure that I didn't create an account ...... LinkedIn (I knew him), Anti Public Combo List (I have no idea what this is), Exploit.In (now I see it for the first time), and iMesh (I don't know about him either). All between 2013 and 2017. More than likely one of them used my password, or "broken" the password of 2017 (I do not know what the password was) becoming one of the victims of "wannacry ransomware" (by June 2017, as if I told you about this episode). Even now I haven't recovered my pictures (I'm sorry about those of my nephew from birth to two years old).
This site doesn't work very well, at the first search it gave me the FATAL result .... at the following searches for the same address it gave me the result that nothing was found and that it is ok. The bottom line: a site crap
that site gave me some sites I never entered
