Just to clarify, that website is not telling you if your email account has been compromised. It is telling you that wherever you used that email as an account user name or account email, and that website ended up being attacked, that the email and associated password for that specific website is now compromised. So if you use the same email and password on other websites, to go ahead and change the passwords.

I think what happened to Orpheusrocker is that the email and password was compromised, hacker found this website as an account and likely reset the password because they had access to the email account. Hope I'm wrong, but that's the only thing I can think of because the forums use user name to sign in, not emails.
