Is it safe to click on the links in this Cybernews article?
I believe Cybernews.com is a reputable site but I just saw this article and wondered if anyone else thinks "Why would I enter my passwords to check if they have been breached?": -
RockYou2021: Largest Ever Password Compilation Leaked | CyberNews
In the article they write that "the data that you enter in the search field is hashed, and we use only this hash to perform a search in our database. We do not collect entered emails or passwords, nothing is logged when you perform a leak check."
I know there are other sites where you can check if your email addresses have been breached ( For example - Attention Required! | Cloudflare ) but checking your passwords seems a step too far.
Q1 - Anyone else seen the article
Q2 - Is it safe to enter passwords and email addresses.
