justRich Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 The original https://haveibeenpwned.com/ has been available for a much longer time and it also provides an opportunity to check one's phone number. Results are instantaneous. On another note, https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ will check a website to see if it's down or not - used to see if it's just your internet connection route or the actual website at fault.

RV_ Posted September 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Rich, Sorry I did not get back. Yes I have used haveibeenpwnd for years and once I got the Malwarebytes report back a minute later it turns out they partnered with them. Quicker to just to go there. Next time I'll wait for the report. I thought they would give more insight than havei . . Nope. I have had 5 lifetime licenses with Malwarebytes since around 2006 or so. They don't do lifetime anymore. They only cost 15 bucks each for life and Malwarebytes keeps me updated with the latest versions and sigs. Love their products but use Nord VPN and an air-gapped password file. I have redone all my passwords since the three hacks found in 2017 and earlier were detected. I did not know I could check my phone there. Just did and got - " Good news — no pwnage found! No breached accounts" Thanks Rich! I learn something new every day.

franco-bolli Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) The military had a breach a couple of years ago and they gave us access to a site "MyIDCare" that is very inclusive about what they check for. ID, Phone, credit, Sexual predators near by.... Oddly, I get a report about 1 to 2 times a year that indicates my phone number is being used by someone about 22 miles from my house. It could be one or the other homeowners that uses it. The one drawback to the "MyIDCare" site is that they don't give any guidance about how to rectify the phone usage issue and neither do I. I'm calling the Cell company and reporting the activity. The information about the person using the number is pretty complete, including name, address, birth month and year and this last report has a phone number associated with it that isn't mine. We'll see what the cell company has in mind. any other ideas on what to do with this?

franco-bolli Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 well, this is disappointing... The fraud department at the cell company told me that they don't see any "unusual" activity on my phone or my wife's phone number. He recommended going to FCC.GOV to report the activity. You and I both know that the FCC is a huge juggernaut of a government entity and I'm not likely to get any resolution there. I called MyIDCare, and was told that the information in the report, may not be accurate! The operator told me that they do not recommend going to the address on the report and confronting the person with the information. So, for now, it's just a report that my phone number showed up on an internet scan, the the person identified in the report, may not be the person using it...

RV_ Posted September 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Franco that is weird. I can't say what that is except to think of how many calls we received from robo calls that when called back was a private number "Borrowed" for outgoing calls. The person who answered had no clue and never called us. Keep us posted, I'd like to know if you find out.
