![]() Just this month it was confirmed that every single Yahoo email account was compromised in the 2013 data breach. Many savvy tech types were caught up in the hack including Troy Hunt, a leading Australian computer security expert and creator of Have I Been Pwned?. In August this year, over 700 million email addresses (and a large number of passwords) were leaked publicly courtesy of a misconfigured spambot (a program designed to collect email addresses). And It’s often a situation that even the savviest tech experts find themselves in. Maybe they found a four-leaf clover when they were kids!Įmail hacking is one of the very unfortunate downsides to living in our connected, digital world. I think I could count on my hand the people I know who have NOT had their email hacked.
