I'm beginning to think I need to put a date-code cipher in my passwords so when I look at them, I can tell how old they are, so when I see a hack happened in, say 2008, I know which of my passwords have been updated since then, and which of my passwords are older and need to be changed, simply inserting '22' at the beginning of passwords this year will quickly let me see a year from now how old they are, for example. It is not clear if the program will re-alarm us if a hacked site is ever reported as being re-hacked after we changed our password, after we think we are 'safe'. It reports only generally that passwords were stolen on a particular date, but it does NOT check our particular passwords, nor does it have any place to keep track of us changing our passwords after the reported hacking date. Then, if we manually 'cancel' the alarm because we think we have made ourselves safe again by changing our password at the compromised site, we may not then be subsequently 'alarmed' if the site becomes compromised again, or more is learned about the original hack that was not reported at first, and or our new password has been compromised - this program does NOT deal with such ongoing remedies and compromises. Most important to me is that the program DOES NOT check our specific passwords, so if we have changed our password at any compromised site AFTEr any passwords were stolen from that site, the alarm will continue to be presented by Hack Check, even though the stolen credentials are out of date and useless to hackers/crackers. So, for example, if we want to check someone else's email address or phone number, yes, the program can do that, the program does not 'know' if anything we type in is ours or even accurate. We have to manually type in, one at a time, whatever email address or phone number we want to be monitored, their website promises that we can enter and monitor an unlimited number of email addresses to monitor. The program does NOT scan our email boxes or our email contact list. The program monitors ANY email address or phone number the WE TYPE IN, manually.
