Have you been pwned?

Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP) is a website that allows internet users to check if their personal data has been compromised by data breaches. The service collects and analyses dozens of database dumps and pastes containing information about hundreds of millions of leaked accounts, and allows users to search for their own information by entering their username or email address. Users can also sign up to be notified if their email address appears in future dumps. The site has been widely touted as a valuable resource for internet users wishing to protect their own security and privacy.
As of February 2017, the site has over 1 million active email subscribers and contains records of 2.1 billion accounts from over 190 data breaches
So, if you want to know if one of the big boys you signed up with has been breached (I ran 3 of my email addresses and was surprised at a couple of major breaches I'd missed) look no further....
