I think Google is pulling your leg, because we've not had any data breaches on .org and I've not heard of any over here either 1f914.png.

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.

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.

Maybe, bit weird though that its only these 2 sites it says it for. Sick of having to think of new passwords lol.

Couldn't that mean you use the same info for this site as another site that has been beached?

No i use different passwords

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

Can't be true because the password for this site is only for this site. Its not even close to any other password i use. Same for .org. The reused passwords is under this breached section,

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

Not the first time I've had this message, also saying PlayStationtrophies.org got breached yet again. Had this message about 5 times

 

Never having seen such a message, I'm quite curious.  Are you willing to share it?  Is it an email?  A popup on Chrome?  Something else?

 

Thank you in advance.

Its an email from Google saying my passwords were in a non Google data breach. I changed the password on here only a few weeks ago and its the strongest password i use.

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.
