    "Is it safe" - Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man

    So inevitably it isn't really safe.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

        It isn't a gmail leak / hack.

        It's the publication of passwords that some people use for some sites and their email address. So if you use the same password for the different sites, then there is a risk that your email password has also been leaked.

        If you haven't, then there isn't anything to worry about your email password, although switching on two-factor authentication won't hurt. You would be better off revisiting which sites you have the same password for and changing them to something more secure.
