easily check to see if your email/password is stolen
<center>There is a way to check if any account using your email has ever been stolen! 
Just type in your email [here](https://haveibeenpwned.com/) to check if it matches the database of stolen accounts from various hacks that have happened in the past: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
<br>
Alternatively, check the list of account types that have been stolen at: https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites to see if any of the games, websites, or services match what you do online or perhaps even friends/family.  
<br>
In many cases, if you are using different passwords for everything or have multiple emails the risk is minimal, but supposing you don't this could mean that your email/password combo is on a list somewhere and easily accessible through a database. This is why for many things you should hide what email you use to login, it will show a username but omit the email which correlates to the database of stolen passwords.
<br>
I recommend everyone check their email against the database and poke around that website a bit, and if you do turn up in one of those lists you should make sure any important accounts are using different passwords than the one you used in that account that was stolen.
<br>
Just a random tip for today, thinking it might help someone.
maybe resteem it so your followers can check their emails too?
