    Hi Guys,

    Everytime I login to Majorgeeks I get this message popup.
    "a data breach on a site or app exposed your password Chrome recommends checking your saved passwords now"

    How come this only happens on Majorgeeks and not any other place I sign into?

    Should I be worried? I've have never seen this before and Majorgeeks have been a great resource for me in the past.

    This happened a while ago.But just in case change your password and it should be fine.

    Its a Google thing................You can control this feature in Chrome's Settings under Sync and Google Services.
    It's just a security precaution that is being gradually rolled out for everyone signed in to the Chrome Browser, as a part of Google's Safe Browsing protections.
    Nothing to worry about!

    Thank you dear Google for not only infinite wisdom, but safe browsing protection :p

    Because a couple of years ago, MG was hacked and they got a fair amount of passwords. You can check for yourself on haveibeenpwnd.com.
