Check Whether Your Email Account Has Been Hacked or Not?

Hacking is not in anyway hidden from people. All of us know about it, if not full information but at least we know what hacking basic means. It's an activity through which a person called 'Hacker' steals the password of another persons or organization and misuses the private information.


Keeping in mind this email service providers make their security to stand before these hackers. But it is not always possible to make secure your account. Millions of accounts are being compromised everyday, but people don't realize it until they see some suspicious activities in their accounts. But now you don't have to be a professional netizen in order to check whether your account is hacked or not.

There is a service called Pwnedlist which can help you in checking your email account. This web service checks whether a username and passwords is hacked or not. You don't have to worry about entering your credentials to Pwnedlist because they don't store your data. You can read more about it here.

In order to check your account go to pwnedlist.com and enter your email and click Check. After few seconds you will get the result whether your account is hacked or not.



There is another service which you can use and that is HackNotifier. It also work on the same basis, just enter your email address and check.

Some people will say you can't depend on it but for a common man it is a very useful tool because they don't have the in-depth knowledge of internet and its structure. So I think you must try.
