How to know if your email is on this list
We do not expect you to see your email in a list of over 700 million emails. So there is a simple way to know if your email was involved in some information leak.
When you access the " Have I been Pwned " website, you can check if your email has ever had the bad luck of being on a publicly available list. However, the website does not show you whether or not your password has been disclosed.
What if your email is on the Internet?
Firstly, if your email is associated with any information leakage, you will immediately change to a new password. A complex password with uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. This is the best way to safeguard your email account.
I rarely use Email, should I be worried?
Finally, even if you do not use email every day, it is important that your email is safe. Apps like Facebook, Messenger or even your smartphone rely on this security to keep you away from hacks.
