    Anybody else get a compromised password warning from Google? Looks like passwords, and presumably any other data linked to your account may have been exposed and published.

    If the password you use for this site is also used for any important accounts (email, bank, etc), you may want to go ahead and change those passwords to be on the safe side.

    I don't know if you use unique passwords everywhere, but I think(?) Google recognises when you've used the same password elsewhere? So it could be a data leak elsewhere which Google recognises as containing your not606 login.

    Yes, it does. Don't have any other matches for Not606 on my saved passwords. It could have been leaked from elsewhere where I have chosen not to save the password but use the same password as here... but who knows. Pretty sure I recall having issues with the password here before, so wanted to know if anybody else had the same warning.

    Yeah cheers for the heads up! There's nothing on the mod forum about a data leak, but equally I wouldn't trust this forum to have the most cutting edge security...

    Since it's only me that's had the warning. I'm going to assume that I used the same password somewhere else and didn't save the password. Not sure where that might be, but will try track it down. I did buy some car parts recently, so maybe I used on one of those sites.
