Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach
https://haveibeenpwned.com/

(o'Θ'))Perhaps the scope of impact and detection will expand in the future.
For now, as long as it is changed before it is abused, there will be no problem...maybe.

I generally agree with you.
Sometimes people log in with "Twitter" or "Google" accounts, and those people have a wider range of damage impact during these incidents.

General Reasons
To avoid receiving fraudulent phone calls or phishing scam emails in the future.

Malicious Reason
To use one of the information items obtained to exploit another vulnerability and use it as a feeding ground for periodic exploitation.
(This is an easy target because it is approximately what is important is tied to it.)
(When a vulnerability is found that allows a password to be bypassed with the email address known, there's a possibility that the contents could be easily stolen.)

Of course, when changing phone numbers, the level of difficulty varies from country to country.
However, e-mail addresses are relatively easy to create, so it is a good idea to transfer from one that can be discarded in case of emergency.

In any case, you should at least change your password.

[tale overflowing with stories]
A scam I recently heard about....

Workers from China receive a call from mainland China telling them to come back because criminal penalties will be applied.
They get calls asking them to deposit money because if they give a bribe, it will be pretended that it never happened.

If this were a migrant worker from a common country, they would not care. If they receive such a call in their native language, they can simply ask the embassy to call them back.

But for Chinese citizens who have their own police closely attached to their own embassies in other countries, who ignore international law, and who bring their own laws to other countries to crack down on them, this sounds like the real thing, not a scam.

Well, stories similar to this are becoming more conspicuous lately in countries where the home country is corrupt.
Perhaps such a large leak of information could be used to select targets for such an action.
These are scary times.

You are probably still in good health when you are using this place.😉
I'll have this done where the information was leaked, so that's okay....

I really like when companies try to make it look impossible to buy something without saving CC details on website. At least when it's possible to remove CC later from account settings...

That is true for the 400 million and the separate 200 million cases.
The 400 million items would also be "phone number" and "email address" that would fall under personal information.

In fact, even if password information was also compromised, that is something that would not be sold, and there is a good chance that they would prey on users who do not change their passwords.
(I'm talking about a case-by-case basis.)

That would not be a reason not to change the password.

*Number typo fix

The world is full of things that exceed expectations.🙄
The very good!　Or very bad!

If there is an unscrupulous person in this world who has the same password for all of his/her email accounts and passwords for various services, let us pray that he/she will start by changing the passwords for his/her email accounts.🙏🛐🤲😨

Wow.. smh

Oh, there was a story about that.
I feel like the key ring called "password manager" is usually the gateway to hell.
I have the same feeling about the button people use to save their browser passwords.

I think there was a recent scare about security software mis-detecting and deleting harmless files.
(Some hacker peppered the virus definition files)

I felt the importance of making backups....🙄

The older the problem, the more you have to suspect the shadow of an evil entity that claims to be you without your knowledge.
It's frightening, isn't it?∑(´Θ`)
I hope nothing serious happened.

Personally, I am more afraid of Facebook and Tiktok, but it seems that the world attracts people who want to do bad things where people gather.
Does the blue bird live in the Tower of Babel? I wonder.

im banned on twitte

On Twitter, it appears that if you are banned, you can only "log in" and "read".

You can start deleting your account from Settings and Privacy.
It is supposed to disappear in 30 days after initiation.
(Not sure if this is true or not)

Even if we are prepared for information leaks, we end up feeling like we have ice water poured down our backs because even if we are okay, those around us may have a hard time.😭

By the way, if my information is leaked, rest assured that at best I will be thought of as a lunatic who got it wrong in his head with E.T.
The recovery team should not come from Area 51 because of the hassle. (Maybe.

Information leakage, everyone is not afraid if they are exposed.
This is also true if you are not doing sinful deeds on a daily basis.
(Unless, perhaps, I'm after the cucumbers of mankind.)
