Have I Been Pwned Website

firefly8

On tonight's programme it mentioned this website, so curious I went along and entered my email address and it came up with 3 websites that had been breached in connection with my email address. One I had definitely registered with. Two I'd had no connection/registration with. So I'm dubious as to whether it's actually giving correct info. Any others found this?

I would take the haveibeenpwned .com site seriously.

Did you read the FAQ on the site?

So what is the OP's campaign against them going to be?

I've just read the FAQ and it doesn't answer my query it talks about USERNAMES, my query is I never registered with 2 of the sites that it has brought up, so how can my Email Address be breached on these 2 sites when my email address was not stored on the sites, as I have been no where near the sites.

Dubious! I won't be taking Have I Been Pwned seriously because it's giving out duff info.

Hi, yes, it's a useful site to check. See our news story from earlier this year

Perhaps someone used your email to register?
