![]() ![]() I think the system just got a little "hiccup" on informing users that their password was compromised. I was using random characters that was more than alphanumericĪre you using a third party password generator ? If you are only using all letters only, the chances are it can be obtain through bruteforce. To answer that, it is possible since password cracking is automated right now. is it really the case that my accounts get hacked so soon and so many? yes. Are you still there?Ĭhrome said 500 passwords were compromised so I changed them and a few days later it said 250 were compromised so I changed 5 and 10 minutes later it said they were compromised and they were 20 characters all mixed. Yes Chrome is reporting that it found all these passwords in the last scan Sorry I'm typing in my phone so if that isn't clear I apologiseĮdit: I missed some of your question. It has a small menu to use if you feel this is not accurate or if you have already changed your password you should open the passwords section and delete redundant passwords from sites to stop continually flagging. So this is a bit like saying, the last scan was 6 seconds ago and Chrome identified that the following sites may have compromised your user name and password It scans regularly and updates it's results to show the last date/time of scan. Now, when Chrome runs you have a call that checks and updates this list so the user is aware that in the last X amount of time, they were able to identify that the websites you hold passwords for have been involved in a data breach, currently. One of the things they check are known databases of data breaches by companies and what information may have been compromised. So Google has probably the world's largest AV tools running behind the scenes looking at malware, phishing URLs etc. No, sorry I didn't elaborate properly for you. ![]()
