Also should mention that if you do decide to do this, and later change your mind, you would need to contact us about reactivating your account, as creating a new one would be a breach of site rules. | |||||

i have...many emails that say they are 'this account or that account' that look very real..but..if you look at it close enough, you know they are fakes..I have truned in dozens of those over the years for the company to step on, prosecute ect ect. I have not recived a data breech..darkweb ect ect warning for RPOL .. IF..you are really concerned.. contact the site that was used for the notice..but do it through your own links..never..ever..use the link from a questionable Email... you can even call the Contact number of your REAL link...but? when in doubt, never use any Links on the Emails. | |||||

And, to be perfectly honest...just what data would you have on RPOL that might be compromised by a breach? I mean, I'm pretty sure I don't have anything here that someone couldn't get from someone selling email addresses for spambots... | |||||

The password that you use for this site and your bank account presumably. | |||||

I've encountered this myself. I believe I received a warning about other sites/services I might use those credentials with needing to be changed immediately. Though in my case I was aware of when the data was originally exposed some years prior and had already taken sufficient precautions. If you're trying to use the same credentials you use on RPoL and get that sort of message, you may very well associate the breach with RPoL whole forgetting the dozen other places you used that same username or email address that one time to create an account that you used for a day then never returned to that website/service again and subsequently forgot about. Later that site suffers a security issue and now that username/email/etc end up on a list of known credentials. | |||||

Regardless of how good any website's security is you should never reuse important passwords. Best advise is to use a password manager and never reuse a password at all, but I temper that with a bit of reality and sometimes there's accounts you just don't care about. As for RPoL -- our security isn't perfect and needs improvement but we've never discovered or been advised of a breach. |
