Just a security reminder... - Mr. Robot - Aug 1, 2020

Just a security reminder -

Check your emails for breaches (that might contain your password)
https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Check to see if your IP has leaked while torrenting.

Test to see if your email provider is secure. Your IP could leak simply by opening an email to read it.

Check your own password breaches (like haveibeenpwned but you can see the results by verifying email ownership)
https://spycloud.com/

Check if your harddrive can be filled via a website (be careful on this one)

Detect your graphics card through your browser

Make sure any images you share online don't contain Exif data. Could contain GPS if left in.

So yea, apparently IKnowWhatYouDownload is pretty useless.
Downloaded countless torrents from home IP (so many that I should have surely had it leaked), apparently according to that site, nothing lol?

Very useful information. One of my gmail is getting an email saying someone tried to access but I had 2 factor turned on. Also, I changed the password.

Not at all, it depends on if your IP has changed and if the torrent contained trackers.
