Edit: There is a place to check to see if your password has been compromised, but I DO NOT recommend using it, as typing any of your passwords into a strange website is always, Always, ALWAYS bad news.
That is true, because the hacks would require having to acquire the hashing and salting algorithm for any passwords that were used to hash the passwords, since majority of these websites that were hacked were not storing passwords in raw format.

You can check to see which breaches you are on, but I think you have to go through a few hoops to get the passwords.

I think the hoops would be to find and download the 87GB folder.

And salt the hashes in most cases, before you can crack it to a usable password.
