Oh FFS 2 of my emails were in the breachcomp2.0 leak. One of them is my main email but the one I use for crypto stuff is OK.

Apparently, "The Breachcomp2.0 data dump is the largest of its kind, exposing 3.2 billion username-password combos on the dark web."

If your email shows up in the tool "Unfortunately, information from this data leak has circulated across the dark web by now, and hackers might already have access to your past logins and passwords."

Time to change my passwords again it seems. Crap! I've got so many better things to do with my time.

Thanks for the heads up though.

Only passwords. And the .txt is from many lists. Nothing special leaked.

I mentioned in the post it contains the original 2009 RockYou list. a list of passwords on their own would be pretty useless.
