Gee, thanks Live Journal

[malada]

So I checked Have I Been Pwned... and what do you know? One breach... Live Journal.

I changed my Dreamwidth password even though it wasn't the same as Live Journal - I've almost never reused passwords.

When I left Live Journal I erased everything except an icon of Putin made up as a drag queen.

:-P

In other news, a week ago I was still using my electric blanket at night. Now I've just got a sheet and a few blankets. Sheesh.

Ditto. I always use site specific passwords and I nuked my journal on the way out. Although I wish I'd thought to do what you did, that's cool!

It claims every username and account I have has been pwned at some point, but then I look at the year each breach occurred versus how frequently I changed all my passwords and I feel slightly reassured. Every LiveJournal I've had should be deleted and purged by now, and they would also be using years-old passwords.

Still, a nifty site I go back to every so often.
