Check if your email is amongst those compromised in Gawker break-in

What is the point of including the domain tied to the address? It just decreases the anonymity of what you've hashed, and actually does a disservice. There are corporate domains in there and the namespace of what to search for becomes a lot smaller.<p>In addition, my domain is my name. I saw many others in the file that this was the case for. It's not a big leap to compute my e-mail from 'jedsmith.org', and I'm sure it isn't for those guys either. You're leaking data with this view.<p>Here's a version that is far more anonymous (and easier, I think): <a href="http://undertow.jedsmith.org/gawker/" rel="nofollow">http://undertow.jedsmith.org/gawker/</a>

Fuck. What the fuck did I even need a Gawker account for?<p>(Thanks for making this. I was going to download the torrent, but assumed that I did not ever visit their site, much less make an account. Wrong!)

If you're on OSX, it's 'md5' and not 'md5sum.'

What's the point of these tools that let you know whether Gawker's database held my email address? It's no secret that I have a Gawker account, and a Twitter account, and a Facebook account... What I would like to know is how likely it is that my <i>password</i> could be compromised. How were the passwords stored? Hashed? Salted and hashed?

Thats great, thanks. I was relieved to not find my email in the list, although I could swear I've commented on gawker sites.

If your email is in that list, expect it to get spammed heavily in the coming days.<p>While it's nice of random social whatever startup hint.io to warn people that their password is compromised, linking to their landing page multiple times in the email makes me think they have ulterior motives.

I got a "We've detected unusual activity on your account" lockout on my Gmail account this morning. Since I can't find anything suspicious on the account I assume it's just bots hammering away, trying the Gawker password and other guesses. Anyone else get that?

I have to say I am underwhelmed by the speed of browing this table.

Well, that is most unfortunate.<p>A big thanks for the heads up.

266 emails whose domain end with .gov<p>Very interesting.

For some reason every md5 from this spreadsheet I try to decrypt, I get nothing. I'm using online tools like md5decrypter.com to do this. Am I missing something?

thx, great tool, mine was part of the leak .... i commented once about a year ago .....

Thank goodness I always use mailinator for junk like that.
