Interesting article from the "Windows Secrets" newsletter. Good reading about whether or not your email address and password has been compromised. You can do a quick check to see if yours has.

Nope. Thanks for the useful info though. I did not realize that Lifehacker was part of their "family" of sites. I've never really associated Gawker with tech sites till now.

Yep. There's a bunch of them. Look on the bottom of the page in Lifehacker for example. Scary stuff!

Yes. Only for one of my "fake email" accounts though...the one I input to websites that I know will most likely send me crap from other soliciting websites.

My only question - are they keeping the email addresses you put in to check?

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.

Nope, which is good, though I have a few "throwaway" emails and passwords for such sites.
