Just checked Firefox Monitor for any breaches on my emails. A new alert from a couple of days ago showed up for LiveJournal from 3 years ago. I don't remember making an account but wouldn't be surprised if I did. I went to the site to delete the account and when I entered my email in to the forgotten username page the site tells me "No username(s) for this e-mail address: [The email that showed up on the breach.]"

If the website can't find anything even attached to that email is there anything I should or even can do to protect my email, info, etc?

I don't remember ever using the site and don't believe I put any personal info on it but if there is anything I should do I would rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks for your help!

You need to take this up with support for that website.
