Here is a very good tip from Kim Komando. The article, posted below, contains a link to a useful web site. I was surprised that none of my 3 primary e-mail addresses had been compromised, but obviously happy to see that!
Do hackers have your passwords?
"Data breaches aren't really anything new. However, the number of data breaches has recently skyrocketed. A list of them would more than fill this page.
It's likely you have accounts with at least some of these companies. That can put your information with that company at risk. It could also endanger other accounts you have online.
Hackers aren't just stealing this information. They're releasing it online. That means anyone could have your data.
If your email, username or password is exposed, you want to know. That's where today's Cool Site comes in. It's aptly named Should I Change My Password.
The site aggregates all the information databases hackers have released. You can search for your email address or username. If you see it, it's time to change your passwords."
