It might be a coincidence, but last month I received an alert that someone tried to sign in to my hosting control panel using a correct password (which was long and random), but was blocked by a geo-filter (which blocks requests outside of my country) fortunately. I do not know up to this day how my password did leak, and that's one possible candidate cause.
- smonte 13y agoI had similar issue with my email account. The password is only used for that specific service and I got a notification yesterday that someone had tried to access the account with correct password. Coincidence, could be. But probably not.
- danielweber 13y agoSomeone broke into my yahoo account a month or two ago to send spam. I changed passwords quickly enough. It was low-priority, but looking at the passwords that people have captured from yahoo's servers, I used a very very common password theme. Also, a lot of Yahoo users were born between 1970 and 1975.
