Firm That Exposed Breach Of 'Billion Passwords' Quickly Offered $120 Service To Find Out If You're Affected

Why I Am Skeptical About 1.2-Billion Passwords Being Stolen

Fortunately, Alex Holden of Hold Security - the cybersecurity firm credited by the New York Times with discovering this cryptocurrency password breach AND the 1.2B passwords recently stolen by them pesky Russkies - has offer up a monthly service to see if you're shit had been hacked.

Alex Holden, a devoted Bitcoiner, says that the service will only be $120/month. We are charging this fee to recover our expense to verify the domain or website ownership, he says by email. While we do not anticipate any fraud, we need to be cognizant of its potential. The other thing to consider, the cost that our company must undertake to proactively reach out to a company to identify the right individual(s) to inform of a breach, prove to them that we are the good guys. Believe it or not, it is a hard and often thankless task.

Woah really? I guess I better go and change my password I use on all sites... How can they do this? I mean Bitcoin is supposed to be safe. I hope my coins on BTC-e are still safe.

Don't bother!: http://www.youarenotpayingattention.com/2014/08/08/the-lie-behind-1-2-billion-stolen-passwords/

Woah, alright then. I guess we all have gotten away safely this time. But I think I'll just change my password on the most important sites, anyways. I'll have to remember two then, though... Haha, Millionaire-problems, I guess Cheesy
