This is getting ridiculous, I can see why IM services such as FB are rolling everything into 1. The death of email can't be far away with fb logins, google logins etc...... Is email the only way to stay anonymous on forums?
Emails hacked again
Email accounts have not been compromised. They just have a list with your email on it.
Do not put your email on that link.
Fake news.

That was my initial thought. A friend posted on fb via a non-the sun link. She said her email was on the list. I ignored my instincts and entered my email,addresses in the search boxYaTingPom wrote:Email accounts have not been compromised. They just have a list with your email on it.

switch to "whats app"

Oh. If it's FB then it must be real.
Enter a made up address. Do it a few times and you'll see.
It's just gathering emails to sell on. They're worth a lot of money as they will be "clean". Old scam old news.
Prepare to be spammed.

YTP you're wrong, that's not how haveibeenpwned.com works at all. They index dumps from data breaches and detect if you're in any. It's a well respected service in the infosec industry.

Oh ok.
Does a data dump equal an email password hack?
My admittedly basic understanding is no passwords have been dumped or leaked as the alarmist tabloid article is saying.

A dump is a dataset containing multiple usernames and passwords. Often they are sourced from intrusions on sites and services, in this case from a keylogging malware.YaTingPom wrote:Does a data dump equal an email password hack?

It looks like someone has disassembled the malware and found the destination where it uploads keylogged accounts and then downloaded it from there.
haveibeenpwned has then, as they always do, loaded the found email addresses into their database and made it searchable based on email for users to find out if they're included.
Not every email has a password in this dump but many do. The exact source will most likely never be known, the only thing we know is that someone somewhere has uploaded a bunch (711 million unique email addresses) of which another bunch (over 5 million) have passwords.
Indexing spam lists is new on haveibeenpwned.com and the author's reasoning can be read here: https://www.troyhunt.com/have-i-been-pw ... formation/

Ok. I tried my email address and there is 1 breach.
Not bad for a 20 year old address!
