Pretty sure it's https://www.passwordmonster.com/

Here is mine with the number of characters redacted (for security reasons, if they want to crack my password it will be way more difficult if they need to guess the number of characters) :

its got number, characters,  and a whole lot a shit that makes it seem like a barcode

Perhaps malware then? Or a password store was stolen from you and you didn’t have 2FA?

 

Whatever the case I hope you figured it out or will so you can recover fully and harden your security.

Is @Colton finally getting fired then?

I have never been hacked...

As long as you are careful it should be fine.

And my passwords are very very long and each website account has a different password...

Every single person who has yet to be hacked has “never been hacked”.

 

Also please don’t confuse hacking with cybercrime. Hacking is hardly ever done for account theft.

Here's a security tip: Don't type passwords for your websites into other websites designed solely to capture and analyze passwords...

And people then act suprised when they get hacked. SMH

i believe the way they hack the accounts is they copy your saved passwords from google chrome ect not the password has been hacked so when you go onto a website the password is already saved for you it clones the database of every password and once in changes your two factor verification so u cannot just change the password again 

 

really when a number is changed youtube should send a text or email asking if you confirm the two factor verification and if no then u can change your password but if they already had access to the email addresses passwords ect then no point

LMG uses 2FA meaning if someone DID get a saved password from some password manager SOMEONE would have had to give them the short verification code. Speculation is that they essentially stole their browser cookies used for maintaining their login session to trick google into thinking the hackers were the person whose session was stolen. This would bypass the login process entirely.

Or Google's 2FA has a security vulnerability that allows you to bypass without even a session token. There are many points of entry, some more secure than others. Given how frequently large channels get hijacked, I wouldn't rule it out.

Hacking is just an example of cybercrime. By definition, hacking is just gaining unauthorised access to some computer system. Finding someone's password on a sticky note and using it is hacking.

it happened to a smaller youtuber and they showed how it happened and was quiet interesting how they are doing this but im surprised they did it to LMG

Good advice, but that site is fine. There's no network requests happening when you type in the box. A lot of these strength tests are done using javascript run in the browser to detect strength. Every website does this already. It's nothing new.

Unless the site itself gets hijacked and malicious code is added. Pretty huge target that would net a LOT of passwords, if only someone were to compromise it.

 

Thankfully a password alone is rarely much use.

That's not how quantum computers work. The risk to current encryption the pose is on a more fundamental level of software than passwords.

Password + IP address. Big bit of info there if you can link those IP addresses to email addresses, usernames, or other site logins. And there are plenty of such databases out there if you're so inclined to look. Let's not kid ourselves, being security conscious these days is not as straightforward as we'd all like to think it is. That's why it's recommended to change your unique, strong passwords frequently anyway.

Even if information of some accounts of mine ended up on there nothing was hacked yet + i change my passwords all the time.

And considering that i use different passwords for different services i see no reason to worry.

I know right? People conveniently seem to forget about the amazing innovations and progress Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are making year after year when it comes to analyzing their password strength. Computers keep getting more and more powerful every single year while we are well beyond the limits of how long of a password the average human can memorize.

If people aren't using 2FA they are playing an EXTREMELY dangerous game. If your password can't be cracked now give it a few more years.

Quote

“For most cyber criminals the cost of accessing the quantum computing power is going to put it out of their reach, plus the need to resort to such sophisticated tools is not currently there,” says Will Richmond-Coggan, a litigator at law firm Freeths.

This is because the majority of cyber criminals focus on low-hanging fruit, where information can be accessed using traditional methods like social engineering or phishing. Experts agree those using quantum computing for nefarious means will mainly be nation state actors or state-sponsored groups looking to access highly sensitive information that could potentially affect national security.
