GUDGER666 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Not the first time I've had this message, also saying PlayStationtrophies.org got breached yet again. Had this message about 5 times, all breaches from here and .org. Not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I think Google is pulling your leg, because we've not had any data breaches on .org (at least not to my knowledge) and I've not heard of any over here either ?.

I would've thought its legit if its from Google? Only ever these 2 sites that it says my info was in a data breach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever these 2 sites that it says my info was in a data breach. Google doesn't know the difference between its' ass and a hole in the wall most of the time, because they're just a fallible as virus scanners so are prone to occasional false positives. If security had been breached, the Admins for our respective sites would issue a statement telling people to change their passwords ASAP but it hasn't so they haven't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, bit weird though that its only these 2 sites it says it for. Sick of having to think of new passwords lol. 1 minute ago, Shadiochao said: Couldn't that mean you use the same info for this site as another site that has been beached?

MickeyMixLipa Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Possible false-positive due to an advert redirect link or there used to be an issue where if a site pulls from passport.twitch via the API that produced a false positive.

Popular Post NathanielJohn Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 This message has nothing to do with the site that you are currently on. It's not saying that PSNProfiles or PlaystationTrophies had a data breach. It's saying that the username/password combination that you're currently entering has been found in a data breach of some site. Meaning you are re-using your password, and Google is telling you not to do that. Details about how the feature works are given here: https://security.googleblog.com/2019/12/better-password-protections-in-chrome.html 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not even close to any other password i use. Same for .org. The reused passwords is under this breached section, Edited February 1, 2021 by GUDGER666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 My money is on it being a false positive caused by a rogue advert from a hacked ad server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreggit Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I am not aware of a breach on PSNProfiles, however there are breaches reported on various PSN related communities. You can look at the site below to check various breaches across the web... assuming you trust the data. https://haveibeenpwned.com/PwnedWebsites#Sony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Man...it's so funny how Google themselves leech and sell private data and they go raising these snitch flags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've seen a message like that on some forum threads in the past because an image that was used on a forum post is related to a site that got breached, removing the image from the tread removed the message. If that's the case, a forum mod can probably remove the image in the thread page you link to. Otherwise it's probably an ad if it's not a forum thread you're seeing it at 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Google is giving you a false positive, caused by them picking up a rogue ad from a hacked server so no data has actually been taken.
