Certainly I have only just found out that my details have been exposed by Nitro, from a third party!

In September 2020, the Nitro PDF service suffered a massive data breach which exposed over 70 million unique email addresses. The breach also exposed names, bcrypt password hashes and the titles of converted documents. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.

I just found out about the breach through Firefox protection. Hard to believe Nitro would not notify affected users all this time. I cannot do business with a company so cavalier about security.. Please cancel my account ASAP.

I have also had a warning from Firefox monitor that my data has been stolen from Nitro.

I stopped using it about 4 years ago. Not even sure what has been stolen.

Can you tell me?
