Casper Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine wasn't on the list. I hope you didn't just fall for the Russian site where you type your address in and it supposedly searches the 5M leaked accounts. Those pop up every time something like this happens, and it's almost always a spam scraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 There's some question about the date of this leak. Some people have confirmed they had passwords on this list that were changed almost a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 It is not even clear if this is a leak, or just a collection of phished passwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 google told me overnight that they prevented a login from Serbia... But it was an old account that I rarely use anymore and never used for personal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
