Just a security reminder...

Change all your passwords and enable 2fa where available. Make sure to not use the same password in more than 1 place and don't use permutations of a password.
Also ensure they are lengthy and strong containing Upper, Lower, Symbols and Numbers.

thanks for the info man.
Darn the people on the VPN I'm using are downloading some really freaky stuff. Looks like most of my main passwords are safe, mostly just old passwords were leaked.
If anyone has suggestions to add feel free

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)
Code
http://filldisk.com

Detect your graphics card through your browser
https://timvanscherpenzeel.github.io/detect-gpu/

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

When trying to not give up your rough location - check common spelling differences between US and UK

Considering it was almost bordering on a hundred thousand downloads and the fact that my IP hasn't changed in 5 years, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's useless
Quality post here Mr. Robot. Suprised what I found out about on a few of those sites...
Some nice tips and a good reminder to some. I think for the most part I am fine.
Thank you for this! Only good to stay safe and secure out there!
