Hi everyone,

With so many online accounts connected to our email addresses, it's worth checking whether our information has appeared in a known data breach.

Does anyone regularly check their email addresses for exposed data? I've found that email breach checkers can be a useful starting point. PureVPN's Dark Web Scanner is another option for checking known email exposures:

If your email appears in a breach, consider changing reused passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and reviewing recent account activity.

What tools or methods do you use to keep your accounts secure?
