Has Your Email Password Been Hacked? Heres How to Find Out

Want to find out if your email has been hacked into or if your password has been stolen? One way to find out is to visit this website: https://shouldichangemypassword.com/ and type in your email address. It will tell you if your email is in there database of hacked or stolen email passwords. Just because you think you have a secure complex password does not exempt you from having your password stolen in a security breach.

If you have a Gmail email account it is fairly easy to tell if someone has hacked into your email. When you login to your gmail scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see something that says "Last Account Activity: Details" If you click on details you will be presented with this screen.

When looking at this screen if you notice any strange log ins from locations you don't know then you should probably change your password. If you have Yahoo email there is also a way to tell if someone has been logging into your email. You can read about that here.

If you are noticing strange login activity on your email account you could be infected with malware. On The Spot Computer Services can do a free checkup to be sure you are not infected and that your passwords are not being stolen.
