We talk a little bit about this here,[1] the TL;DR is that we check for username / password combinations that have been exposed in 3rd party breaches (just to reiterate, these are breaches that have happened outside of Reddit.) This is similar to what haveibeenpwned[2] does, but we use it specifically against Reddit accounts.

Consider this a good reminder to keep your account safe!!

What do you do when you discover a Reddit account has had its password breached? Do you send an automated PM telling them to change their password?
