Democratizing free data breach intelligence, scam awareness, and proactive digital identity defense for users worldwide.
Pwned Checker is a free, educational cybersecurity intelligence platform designed for everyday users to quickly verify whether their personal email, username, or passwords have been compromised in public data breaches. Operated by passionate ethical researchers, our goal is to bring enterprise-grade breach detection tools directly to individuals. Learn more about core concepts in our guide to data breach protection. Note: We are an independent service and are not affiliated with haveibeenpwned.com or Troy Hunt.
In an era where massive data leaks expose billions of credentials annually, our mission is to eliminate barriers to cyber defense. We believe privacy and security knowledge should be universally accessible without paywalls, subscriptions, or invasive tracking. Through our real-time breach lookup tool and investigative security news reports, we help millions take swift counter-measures.
We index and cross-reference verified breach records from publicly available datasets and historical leaks across the internet. When you perform a search, our engine performs a fast cryptographic lookup against known leaked combos without exposing sensitive data. For detailed questions on safety and methodology, read our security FAQ or our post-breach recovery guide.
Your privacy is strictly protected. We never log search queries, track individual inputs, or store searched credentials. Every query is evaluated in ephemeral memory and discarded immediately after response delivery.
