IT Security – Has your email address ever been compromised?

Has your primary email account been hacked? Have you used the same password for all internet based services? Have you been a victim of identity fraud? These issues are becoming more and more prevalent these days.

One way to check and see if you have become a victim to hacking is to check the website Have I Been Pwned?. This was started by Troy Hunt, a Microsoft Regional Director and Most Valuable Professional awardee for Developer Security, blogger at troyhunt.com, international speaker on web security and the author of many top-rating security courses for web developers on Pluralsight.

You can enter your email address and see whether you have been the victim of a hack or whether your email address has been compromised. Or you can click on Notify Me and fill in your email address (you will be asked to verify your email address).
