[QUOTE="JCMaloney, post: 5886908, member: 2821"] The website you provided lists a lot of data that has been sent to them as opposed to "hacked sites", there are only 251 genuine open hacks on it. So, as an example, the email address I use on here could easily have been scoped/intercepted on endless data transfers. The massive data-set that the website holds will then cross reference and flag that up as "hacked" probably to cause worry and panic! That then produces a simple equation from bots & cookies that {TFF + jcmaloney@****.com = "hacked"} whereas nobody has actually hacked either my email or this site. The simplest way to protect yourself, aside from keeping software upto date, is multi-factor authorisation where you need a separate physical item (card,mobile etc) to authorise accounts.
