Check if Your Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail Password Was Leaked

posted by Swaggrabber 11 months ago

The passwords to 432,000 email accounts were leaked earlier today. They were leaked from an older Yahoo file associated with the Yahoo! Contributor Network. Yahoo claims that only about 5 percent of the accounts had valid (current) passwords, but here’s how to check if your ancient account is one of them.

Security company Sucuri has put together a tool to check if your email is included in the 400,000+. Make sure to check yours now!  If yours was leaked, immediately change your password.
