Well, even though this was a lot of time ago, I changed the password of the email I used for that website ( Even though it was different ) and changed my password on that site too, to one I'll probably forget because I have no more reasons to use that site.

That's why I devloped a system, that my brain can use it :D
Every page I'm registered, every account has an other password, all are unique and more then 20 charas long and fill the safety-needs (uppercase and lowercase letters, special chars, numbers,...)
Using no password-safe, no password-save-function - only my brain to save some 'hints' and advices for that password of each site.
I don't kow a password of any account directly, and maybe need 2-3 tries to log-in but that's the effort I go with.
Only my work and mail-passwords are complety different and don't follow this system I invented for me, to be on an other save-side.

Maybe I'm a bit differnet and stupid xD but don't trust password-saves (or if computer is hacked and so on)..but a brain..my brain..nobody can hack a human brain that knows all the things - and if somebody asks you,
you can easily say, you forgot it ^^.

I hope you just grabbed that from the compromise itself and don't intend to do anything with it.
I just have an interest in information. I have no intentions of using it for anything. If you'd like me to give you evidence, I can PM you. A friend of a friend, knows people. He's quite scary, to be honest.

If you're making an account on a warez site, you should NEVER use your real E-Mail. Go to 10minutemail.net and get a temporary E-Mail.

Even if the sites don't get hacked, they are run by shady guys who could sell your login info.

lel if that thing is available specially on the deep\dark weeb
your warning is useless and very likely directed at the wrong person...
i mean, anyone can go there and get it so... what he can probably do, there is someone somewhere that will do it worse.

Talked about it in PMs. The problem would be finding them, but considering those dumps were from the initial compromise, most of us are not in any danger.

Clever you did that. I think that is the best way of protecting yourself when data breaches happen.

You'll be surprised what you can find when you have over 100GB worth of SQL dumps from various websites.

I have an AOL SQL dump but there isn't any passwords in there and even if there was, they would likely be hashed, soo.
