    Have you been pwned?

    Was just checking a number of my email addresses to see if any had been hacked.

      Only the adobe attack when they pulled down the entire customer list. Its not surprising that their website security is identical in quality to their other products. Problem is no one else is as good as photoshop or Illustrator (its only acrobat and Flash that is utterly crap)...

      However its not true you haven't been pwned if we use the proper definition of it. I only have to look at your custom title to see that I won that battle....

        Read the about section.

        All the data in the site comes from website breaches which have been made publicly available.
        so it doesn't include all instances just ones where the criminals wanted to show off..

          Not so much showing off as selling on. These things usually appear on darknet forums first, on offer to the highest bidder. Of course, as the people selling them are crooks, they keep on selling them until loads of people have them, and in the end somebody posts the lot on Pastebin. But there's been a good window for exploitation before that.

              I was once emailed a picture of MF blowing a donkey.

              Does that count?

                Don't scare Suity with tails of a 'dark' net. We've only just managed to get him to turn his night life off.
