    Today Dutch radio mentioned this site where you can check if you have an account that has been compromised in a data breach. New to me, maybe useful to y'all:

    True, but if hackers hack LinkedIn, Facebook and other major databases and obtain your 'not to remember' PW, it's still useless, unless you chance it every week and/or do two-way identification.

    Even better, the website Dutch website www.tweakers.net (not to be confused with drug use)
    rehashed found passwords in the list and compared that with their user list,

    send me a mail I was compromised and used the same password more than once....

    The site's legit, I was able to dig up accurate year by year info, including past breaches that I was already aware of.
