gkatz Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi all; using hte firefox monitor I get the gatehub hack as one of the hacks in my list. my question is: is the FF monitor based on real data? for example the leaked DB? or does it only know that my mail has a gatehub account and will show this hack for all gatehub users. thanks for your comments.

mike91 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 FF Monitor is based on haveibeenpwned dot com , which is based on real leaked data Yes, Gatehub data was leaked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla_Guy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I received a warning from my credit monitoring service (Experian) They provide what they call a “dark web scan” (sounds impressive but it’s not) About 2 weeks ago I was notified that my email address was found on a known “dark web site” associated with illegal activities. The offending site’s name was “Gatehub.net” According to Experian Gatehub.net is the dark site, and not the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can having my email address compromise my emails? I never gave Gatehub my email server’s password. In fact, even though I registered at Gatehub, I never used the site. I used another exchange when purchasing. xrpholder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a different password on Gatehub than my email address. Ive changed my emails password since the hack as well, but I believe I am safe? rippledude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
