Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean if my email is in a data breach?
It means your email address was found in a public or leaked data set from a website or service that suffered a security breach. This could include usernames, passwords, or other personal details.
Where does this data come from?
The data comes from publicly known breaches where information was leaked due to weak security. We collect and organize these breaches to help people check if their information has been exposed.
Are my passwords stored on this site?
No, we do not store any passwords. We only keep track of whether an email or username was involved in a breach, but not the actual password itself.
Can I find a list of all leaked email addresses?
No, we do not provide lists of all leaked email addresses. You can only search for your own email address to see if it has been affected.
What if my information was leaked, but no password was included?
Even if your password wasn’t leaked, other personal details may have been exposed. Hackers can use this information for scams or phishing attacks, so it’s still important to stay cautious.
How do you verify if a breach is real?
We check if the affected company has confirmed the breach, analyze the leaked data for authenticity, and look for patterns that indicate whether the data is real or fake.
What should I do if my email was found in a breach?
Change your password immediately for the affected site and any other accounts that use the same password. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where possible and be cautious of phishing emails.
Will my email be safe if I check it here?
Yes. We don’t store or track your searches, and all searches are encrypted for security.
