You may all want to check that site again, there has been a massive data breach (records of 982 million people) which may affect you all.  Banghead

Says I could have been leaked twice

But all that means is a site where I used my email address may have been hacked to reveal my email address and the password I used there.  The real moral of this story is never use the same password for multiple sites that have real information about you

It told me 9 sites, but I'm guessing that these are technical ones I used to spend time on back when I was running diallers as I haven't had any alerts yet.
