I was expecting a blank page with the word "Yes." centered in large bold letters.

I saw a similar (presumably joke) page a while ago: "enter your CC information and we'll tell you if it's been hacked".

I saw a similar one to tell you if your password was secure; it responded "not anymore".

The domain search facility there is fantastic. I have my own domain and try to use a different email address for every signup. Luckily that site allows you to do a complete search for @example.com in the 'domain search' tab.

I wonder why searching for "@gmail.com" does not show any result .. are you sure that works as you mentioned?

You have to prove you own the domain for the domain search to work. https://haveibeenpwned.com/DomainSearch

Wow. Thanks for that. I didn't even know about the Bitcoin/Gmail breach that came up for my email, and I didn't remember even having an Adobe account.
That might explain a breach I had a while back.

I don't remember signing up to Adobe, but I have a "Welcome" email from February 2011. Was there a free download of Photoshop, or something like that?

CS5 was released in April of 2010. The update CS5.5 was released in May of 2011.
I'm guessing someone used your email address to start a free trial in order to pirate the software. They were either replacing an older version they had, or wanted a free upgrade and attempted to hide their identity.
FYI Photoshop is one of the most pirated pieces of software.

Thanks, this site is much more useful than the NYTimes article.
