    Tesco.com 2200 accounts had logins and pws posted
    up online
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/14/tesco_login_details_leaked/

    Relatively minor, some vouchers missing, but still.

    Would it be worth having a sticky of compromised sites as reported. Might be useful for checking back, especially on accounts you may have forgotten.

    I did come across this recently and perhaps, but

    1 What better way to feed a pwn site, if this was pwned, and it could help a pwner to decide strategy. When it comes to security, I consider it more prudent not to draw attention to personal compromises than shortlist them for attack.
    it like not leaving valuables visible in the car, if left unlocked, as can happen in the real world, stands a better chance.

    2 it only has db of published accounts.

    A list could still serve as a reminder/warning
