Windows 10: Is it safe to click on the links in this Cybernews article?

I believe Cybernews.com is a reputable site but I just saw this article and wondered if anyone else thinks "Why would I enter my passwords to check if they have been breached?" RockYou2021: Largest Ever Password Compilation Leaked | CyberNews In the article they write that "the data that you enter in the search field is hashed, and we use only this hash to perform a search in our database.

How to remove a broken link?

Hi Samuel,

There is a possibility that the uninstallation cannot be completed because of software conflicts. To isolate the issue, kindly answer the following questions:
