BlankMediaGames sold or leaked my password

[Portable Washing Machine 10 LBS]

Hey guys, I was watching YT shorts, when one short showed a website that is supposedly showing your digital footprint, so I entered it, entered my email address, and after a search it showed me something horrifying - my email (that I just entered), username (that this site shouldn't know about) and the pass-word I use for most of my gaming accounts

The site is called Pentesting, and you find it by googling 'find my digital footprint'

There actually WAS a leak, but that dates YEARS back, when ToS2 most likely wasn't even an idea yet.

And how do you know it was from bmg and not a leak from one of the many other places you use that password in?

In addition: ToS2 doesn't even use passwords.
It also doesn't use e-mailaddresses.

I think OP might be confusing this with the looooooooong-since known data breach in what was it, 2018, 2019?

As for OP, friendly reminder:

Maybe don't use the same password everywhere. That's internet safety etiquette 101.

The site literally says that the leak came from BlankMediaGames

Yeah, it says the leak was from 2018 so it probably is that

As for the passwords I have one password for gaming stuff (which I don't really care if someone hacks into) and other passwords for more serious things, so I am not too worried

To chime in with what others are saying, they were compromised years ago-- like a decade ago, during the old original ToS1 days. I know this because I received the notification back then when it happened prompting me to change my password, etc. Again, many years ago.
