The results will give you a listing of every breach your email address and an associated password was found in chronological order. If your password was changed after the time frame of the last breach then you’re safe. If not, you should change your password immediately.

Also, if you used your email address as the login for any of the breached services (Evite, Target, Linked In, Liker, etc) or businesses listed, you should definitely change the password you used to log into that breached service as well.
