00:00.060 --> 00:01.140
Have I been pwned?

00:02.100 --> 00:05.880
If you never checked out this website, I highly recommend you take a look at it.

00:06.870 --> 00:08.160
So have I been?

00:08.160 --> 00:15.360
Pwned is a website where you can plug in the email address and see if it's been part of a data breach.

00:16.140 --> 00:21.810
And this website is by Troy Hunt, who is a very well known security researcher.

00:22.980 --> 00:27.030
So the way it works is they have a large database here.

00:27.270 --> 00:41.520
So 276, 277 phone websites, about 5 billion phone accounts, almost 70,000 pages and almost 75 million

00:41.520 --> 00:46.380
paced accounts is comprises this website.

00:48.510 --> 00:51.060
So in order to operate, it's really simple.

00:51.540 --> 00:55.590
All you need to do is put in any email address that you want to check out.

00:56.940 --> 01:03.120
So for this example, I'm going to use one of my email addresses, dispo games at gmail.com, and I'm

01:03.120 --> 01:05.100
going to click the phone button here.

01:07.680 --> 01:12.750
So if has been part of a data breach this Bonaparte's going to turn red.

01:12.770 --> 01:20.790
It's going to say, oh, no pound and then it's going to tell you how many breaches has been a part

01:20.790 --> 01:20.960
of.

01:20.970 --> 01:23.910
So as you can see here, it's been part of two breaches.

01:24.390 --> 01:25.980
So I'm going to keep scrolling down here.

01:28.080 --> 01:32.640
Down here is going to tell you what websites it was part of.

01:33.060 --> 01:43.020
So in 2013, we could see it was part of Adobe Breach, where 153 million Adobe accounts were were compromised.

01:43.050 --> 01:49.350
If I keep going down here, it's going to be it's going to show you the compromised data.

01:49.350 --> 01:54.150
In this case, it was email addresses, password hints, passwords and usernames.

01:55.320 --> 02:00.050
And again, it was part of a Dropbox breach in mid 2012.

02:00.060 --> 02:02.670
In this case it was email addresses and passwords.

02:02.670 --> 02:03.510
They got leaked.

02:04.650 --> 02:08.790
So in both cases, those are pretty horrific breaches.

02:09.900 --> 02:16.270
So fortunately for me, I've changed the password a couple of times, so it's relatively safe.

02:18.210 --> 02:20.910
So you might be wondering why I'm telling you about this website.

02:21.810 --> 02:28.920
So, for one, if you never use this, I highly recommend you just put your email address in there or

02:28.920 --> 02:32.880
email addresses, make sure your accounts are safe.

02:33.660 --> 02:35.640
It's just really good practice.

02:37.590 --> 02:45.480
But as far as Olsen goes, you might be wondering what this has to do with it.

02:47.070 --> 02:56.550
So to give you a small story, a while back, I was doing an ocean search on somebody didn't have a

02:56.550 --> 02:57.720
lot of information on them.

02:57.720 --> 03:03.510
I had an email address and I had a name, but I wasn't sure what other sites you were part of.

03:04.560 --> 03:06.330
So I decided to take their email address.

03:06.330 --> 03:15.990
I put it in to have I've been pwned and the results were actually pretty surprising and it found websites

03:15.990 --> 03:19.290
that that particular account was tied to that I had no idea.

03:19.890 --> 03:22.260
Even when I did a Google search, it didn't come up.

03:23.160 --> 03:25.520
So I found out they had a minecraft account.

03:25.530 --> 03:32.670
I found out they had a pastebin account and a few other websites and using that information and their

03:32.670 --> 03:39.030
email address, I was actually able to find some pretty important information.

03:39.030 --> 03:41.580
That was part of my investigation.

03:42.420 --> 03:46.050
And it was again, it was really simple.

03:46.050 --> 03:51.090
I just put their email address in and they just happened to be part of some data breaches.

03:53.300 --> 04:01.790
So again, this is have I been phoned and it can be found that have I been P.W. and Edengay.com.

04:02.990 --> 04:10.310
And again, if you're researching on Target and you have email address, do your Google Google searches.

04:11.810 --> 04:14.990
And also I would recommend try putting it.

04:15.040 --> 04:16.160
Have I been phoned?

04:17.090 --> 04:20.690
You know, it doesn't hurt to run that extra check.

04:20.690 --> 04:22.630
Maybe you'll find a different of me.

04:23.180 --> 04:27.680
You maybe you'll find additional information that didn't come up before.

04:28.160 --> 04:30.230
So, again, have I been phoned?
