emails are worth money

Oh you mean for marketing. Yeah, I'm not worried about that. I got spam folders or I'll just mark as spam. The site claims that they aren't collecting the emails, and it was verified on another site, so I think we're good. But I guess one can't be too safe

that article does not say anything about that website

You might need to change your email password in the very near future. A member at a Russian Bitcoin forum has posted almost 5 million Gmail passwords, around 60 percent of which are reportedly still working. It's not clear how the poster managed to scoop up all this account info, but Google tells Cnews that it comes from a long stretch of hacking and phishing attempts that stole data from individual users. Gmail's servers weren't breached, the search giant says, and much of what's there is old. That's somewhat comforting, but you may want to check if your account is one of the unfortunate targets -- you don't want to give thieves easy access to your most sensitive info.

There was another hack that occurred before the gmail one. That's why it was supposedly registered 2 days before (according to the site owner). If you look at the site it does say that it checks for 2 other email accounts.

The worst things that can happen to you is that you get more spam. It's not that big of a deal.

I wish I didn't use the site, but after so many sites saying it was okay to use, I figured it was fine. I still think it is fine, but who cares if they have my email address. Whatever. I monitor my gmail account to look for suspicious activity, so if something strange comes up I'll just change my password. Not a big deal.

Everybody is freaking out for no reason



If you want to see who's on your gmail account, just scroll down and look at details. You can see all the ip addresses. Nothing to worry about
