Found a free way to check if my email was in a data breach that actually worked

My email is in so many breaches, it basically has its own fan club. I checked one of those sites and got a novel's worth of results. At this point, I'm just impressed by the commitment.

Honestly, that's a pretty grim way to look at it, @robinf51. Knowing about a breach is the first step to actually locking things down.

Checking those sites is useful, but it only tells you the damage is done. You still have to go change every password that got leaked. The real work starts after you see your name on the list.
