I tested a number of accounts, it's a legit dump. If your email is in there I'd change your password and anywhere else you re-used the password.

I am still testing several accounts, more than 90% are legit accounts that didn't changed password yet. Among the accounts I did find companies such as Microsoft, General Electric, EpicGames and more.

Kind of off topic, but doesn't github and other big companies use a services that automatically emails the owner and/or resets their password when their account information shows up on pastebin?

So why are the accounts still up?

I didn't know such service existed. Sounds interesting.

Is there a service monitoring pastebin etc. for an individual's email account?

havent tried it myself: https://haveibeenpwned.com

I received emails from https://rbnhd.com/ & https://changepassword.nu/ and found those emails on my spam folder (gmail). The emails were saying that my password was leaked. I never subscribed on any of the above services.

BTW the EpicGames are just people that downloaded UE4 and got access to the github source. They're not actually from Epic.
