About This Breach
Email addresses and passwords together can support unauthorized login attempts against other services where the same password was reused. Email addresses can also make fake account-security, recovery, or support messages more convincing.
A match means that the queried email address appears in the dataset; it does not prove that the account was compromised today. Change the password, replace it anywhere it was reused, enable multi-factor authentication, and do not log in through incoming links.
