Thank you for the issue report.

No need to worry, this isn't related to any breach of voidtools.com or the forum itself.

The message is from Google's Password Checkup feature (built into Chrome/your Google Account).
It works by comparing your saved passwords against databases of credentials leaked from other websites' breaches.

When it says the breach is "independent of Google," that means Google itself wasn't hacked, and voidtools.com wasn't hacked either.
What most likely happened: the password you used for your voidtools.com account was also used on some other site, and that other site suffered a data breach at some point.

Since the same password showed up in that leaked data, Google flagged your saved login here as being at risk
Attackers could try that same leaked password against other sites you use it on.

Good news is you've already done exactly the right thing by changing it.
Just make sure that old password isn't reused anywhere else you still use it, and you're all set.
