Check whether your mail is compromised or not?
We browse and check different websites. Some of the websites ask us to provide basic details, some websites don’t show any content until we log in and accept website cookies.
Is this safe or not?
Providing details is safe until the website is hacked.
Every website will protect the client data but once it is hacked, the data will be theft depending on the level of attack and how long that attack is been active.
Some shopping websites like Flipkart, Amazon, Ajio, Myntra and all, will have our details including contact number, address etc. if such websites are being hacked then data theft may take place. so, do take some steps to protect your information.
