Nearly 773 million email accounts have been exposed in a massive data breach. Here's how to check if you were affected

A massive database containing 772,904,991 unique email addresses and more than 21 million unique passwords were recently posted to an online hacking forum, according to Wired.
The hack was first reported by Troy Hunt of the hack security site Have I Been Pwned, which lets you check whether your email and passwords have been compromised and which sites your information was leaked from.
The data collection as a whole, called "Collection #1," doesn't appear to originate from a certain source, but is rather an aggregation of 2,000 leaked databases that include passwords that have been cracked, according to Wired. That's to say the protective layer that scrambles, or "hashes," a password to prevent your original password from being visible has been cracked, and the passwords are presented in a usable form on hacking forums.
Data in Collection #1 wasn't put up for sale, like many data leaks are. It was first hosted on popular cloud hosting site Mega before being taken down, then posted on a public hacking site.
"Collection #1" is among the largest data breaches in history, second only to Yahoo's hack that affected as many as 3 billion users.
How to check if you've been affected
To check whether or not your data was affected, you can head over to HaveIBeenPwned.com and enter your email address. Once you hit enter, and if your data was affected, you can scroll down and see whether your data was included in the "Collection #1" leak.

It's why I asked the question.
But continue to jerk off.
I’m sure the website is totally safe, you can give your personal information away and then head to IHOP for free pancakes.

Sorry buddy, having a random sack of kitty litter in the car was your idea.
Why sorry?
I'm the one who doesn't want iced up windows. You're with the group gots who want the cover of ice for viewing the Pats game from your parked car.
I don’t want iced up windows either, difference being that the defrost button in my car worksWhy sorry?

Dear Mr. Joiner,
We regret to inform you that your subscription to Teen Lust has been canceled due to insufficient funds.
it's a valid site, just notifies you if your email address shows up on reports of security breaches/hacks of websites. buddy who is a network admin suggested it to me a few years ago.
the worst that can happen is harvesting email addresses you willingly provide.
