The scam email (below) that I just received this morning is a great reason to use LastPass or any other reputable password safe so you can have a unique password for each and every account. I have somewhere around 800 different online accounts. The person behind this email is trying to blackmail me. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ helped me locate which accounts associated with "tim@oey.us" username/email have had known hacks with the data sold. "LinkedIn: In May 2016, LinkedIn had 164 million email addresses and passwords exposed. Originally hacked in 2012, the data remained out of sight until being offered for sale on a dark market site 4 years later. The passwords in the breach were stored as SHA1 hashes without salt, the vast majority of which were quickly cracked in the days following the release of the data."
