Mine too :|
I'm wondering too, why Adobe didn't provide official online tool, why do I have to do online research to understand who is behind this third party service?

2. Re: How to check if your account was affected by the breach
Not saying that it is, but you realize that checking your ID through a 3rd-party website could just be a way for them to verify that your ID is still valid. Every person should decide for themselves if this is a risk they want to take.
In my case, there is no doubt. My spam email went up X10 3 weeks before they announced the breach.
Thanks Adobe.

Sidebar listed it as one of the five "best" design related links yesterday:
It's legit. But you are correct, careful treading is required nowadays ;-)

I'm the author of the linked site. If you wish to see the source code so that you can trust the app you're free to ask.

That is very generous of you! Personally, I would not be qualified to review your code, but the thought is welcome.
The concept of causing trouble then offering a solution is not new. Every person should take reasonable precautions to protect their information - especially since our information is so well catalogued now. The spam I get now is unnervingly targeted.
The downside is that people who are helping get looked at with suspicion too. Most of us are not equipped to tell whether a site like yours is white, gray or black.
Once again, I appreciate your willingness to provide assurances about your site.
