PasteBin leaks?

I just logged-in and saw a note that I should verify my email address in PasteBin?

What's it all about? I am sorry to ask about this as I have not been present here a lot and often would scan posts/threads..(sorry need to take on additonal income generating schemes).

Might you give me some links or possible guidelines as to how grave is this threat and how can I and my family be safe from it..How can my email address be in that..? I mean what we must do etc.

Thanks a many :)
 
Ah, that may have been my profile status.

I was searching some random emails and one cropped up on a PasteBin site from 7th March 2014, with 2500+ login credentials for some site.

If you use LastPass, they should notify your if you email was exposed in a security breach.

Hi Huracan,

Oh. Point taken. I do not use LastPass. Is there any way I can check? Thanks again :)
 
I don't currently know of any, except the company should email you about a security breach recommending a password change or reset. In most cases you should hear about it on News, Forums or Blog sites if there are any security breaches.
 
Not sure, but if you have a Google account, you could set-up Alerts using "Me on the Web".
