What the Pwned Websites Database Shows

Every time a major company suffers a data breach, Have I Been Pwned works to verify the incident and add the affected accounts to its searchable database. Some of the most notable breaches tracked include:

  • Adobe (2013) — Over 150 million accounts
  • LinkedIn (2012 & 2016) — Hundreds of millions of records
  • Dropbox (2012) — Over 68 million accounts

  • MOVEit (2023) — Supply chain attack affecting hundreds of organizations

New breaches continue to be added regularly, including incidents involving fintech platforms, healthcare providers, and government systems.

Why This Matters

If your email address (or your clients’ email addresses) appears in these breaches, attackers may have access to:

  • Passwords (especially if reused across accounts)
  • Personal information
  • Financial details
  • Internal business communications

For Texas law firms and professionals who handle sensitive client data, a compromised email account can quickly lead to:

  • Business Email Compromise (BEC) and wire fraud
  • Unauthorized access to client portals or cloud services
  • Reputational damage and potential professional responsibility issues

What You Should Do

  1. Check your accounts at haveibeenpwned.com
  2. Change passwords on any affected accounts (especially if you reused passwords)
  3. Enable 2-Factor Authentication (preferably app-based or hardware keys, not SMS)
  4. Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords
  5. Monitor for suspicious activity on financial and professional accounts
  6. Consider email security protections such as DMARC to reduce the risk of your domain being spoofed in future attacks

Data breaches are no longer rare events — they are a constant reality. Staying informed and taking proactive steps is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk.
