Edited to add an additional news site link and a link to info on isleaked, and a disclaimer advising you to NOT use the isleaked site.--kimmer

For those that don't want to visit Komand's site, here's a link to cnn:
http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/10/technology...hack/index.html

Link to site that talks about the isleaked site. I agree with xABD, and don't recommend that you use the isleaked site.

Uhmn... "Use this link to see if your info has been leaked" er... I don't think so. Why would anyone submit their login info to a Russian site? wallbash.gif Oh, they promise not to steal anything. Must be OK, then. laughhard.gif   wacko.gif

All I did was increase Kim's click count. rolleyes.gif Putting only 4 or 5 paragraphs on a page so you can have multiple "pages" doesn't impress me. I think she should concentrate on her make-up and clothes... don't need any "tech goddesses" around here...

Later...
According to some reports, Google has already locked out/up info it knows was compromised. I logged in fine but changed my p/w and a few other items, anyway. dntknw.gif I'm beginning to wonder if some of these "leaks" are simply similar to rumors/stories that seem to come back every few years as emails! laughhard.gif So many lists must be floating around that people re-combine them and claim to have hacked the original site! Probably enough actual hacking going on to not worry about the faked "thefts" of course! sad.gif

Agree with you. I've edited my original post with more information.
