Subject: Was your Gawker password hacked?

Gawker has a number of different websites, and if you have been following the tech news lately then you know their database was hacked and over a million email addresses and passwords were taken.

This simple tool lets you know if your email address was included in the stolen information. If you utilize the same password, it might be prudent to change it on other sites if your email address comes up as being hacked.

Create and memorize one strong password and let LassPass create and store completely random passwords for you. The passwords are stored by LastPass, not on your computer, and are available from any machine (or mobile device.) The mobile device use is $12 a year, but is completely optional.
