☑️ Depending on how much information you're given, it's not always possible to take action on breach and exposure notifications. ☑️ If your email is on the dark web You might be able to find which website’s passwords need changing by using services like HaveIBeenPwned to check if your email is linked to known breaches. If passwords are compromised, update them immediately, especially if reused across sites. Change passwords immediately if you receive unsolicited two-factor authentication requests.
