"how you can see if you're safe.."
Where and how?
I feel like this is clickbait. There is no way to check for now.
edit: I mean, there's always the good old https://haveibeenpwned.com/, but there is no guarantee the leaked data is already in there.

The referenced "Forbes report" which pops up everywhere says:
> According to Vilius Petkauskas at Cybernews, whose researchers have been investigating the leakage since the start of the year, “30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each,” have been discovered. In total, Petkauskas has confirmed, the number of compromised records has now hit 16 billion.
It really looks like the Forbes writer is shooting from the hip and mixing things up and all these other sites just running with it. Then the LLMs feed on that. A good study of the hyper-real news cycle at play I guess.
