I love that site.
Thankfully I'm in the habit of using throwaway passwords for sites I consider throwaway.
I have noticed recently that I've been getting a lot of extortion spam, demanding bitcoin and saying that they know my passwords have compromising footage of me, having pwned all my devices.

It's quite funny but I bet it's caught quite a few people with a guilty conscience out.
