Was YOUR Password Exposed?

Earlier this week a security researcher leaked a staggering 10 million usernames and passwords online.

He said the move was for research purposes, and details were stripped of certain details to protect the accounts from cybercriminals.

Now, a programmer has built a search tool that lets concerned users scour the list for their personal details.

Earlier this week a security researcher leaked a staggering 10 million usernames and passwords online. Programmer Luke Rehmann has now built a search tool that lets concerned users scour the list for their personal details. He warned that the site may be slow to load during times of peak traffic

The tool was built by Michigan-based student Luke Rehmann.

He said: ‘Many people expressed an interest to see if their username or password appeared in this dump of 10 million.

‘This data dump is a tiny sample of the hundreds of millions of accounts that have been publicly dumped over the years.’

He advises people only to search for the first four characters of their details to prevent the username or password being stored on their browser’s auto-complete list.

And if people do find their information on the database, he said they should change their password information as a matter of course.
