It used to be that I wasn't surprised when my password app would tell me an account is compromised.
Now I'm surprised, often. Accounts with good generated passwords I get warnings about.
Not that that vendor or site ever tells me they were hacked, but it's one of those cases where I can't imagine how else it ended up on a list somewhere ...
Not plain-text I hope. Was this extracted directly from providers? Given the fact that people reuse passwords, it should be easy to construct a larger db theoretically. But this number is mind-boggling.

thats about 2 accounts for every person on the planet already..
my email address comes up in 23 breaches, and it doesn't appear to list that one yet.
So no, I dont think it has been added yet, but it will be interesting to see how much that number goes up when they do.
