Holy f#ck. Was just looking into how many times my info has been stolen online from some company I trusted to protect my info & its more than I'd have thought. I guess most of us know this is a risk & is happening as we speak, but I was surprised to see it drawn out so clearly over the years.
For the specifics its looks like my info has been stolen 22 times from May 2010 til Sept. 2018. Twitter, MySpace (from back in the day), DailyMotion, Tumblr, a Poker site, two cryptocurrency sites, among several others being the parties at fault.
I've been noticing a lot of weird sh^t with some accounts I don't use any longer as of late so decided to do some digging.
Change your passwords on a regular basis even if you are using a password manager my brothers & sissies. Protect yourself.

Here's an example of what info they'll tell you.
