Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about data breaches and your online security.

What is a data breach?

A data breach is an incident where secure, private, or confidential information is intentionally or unintentionally released to an untrusted environment. This typically happens when hackers steal databases containing sensitive user information.

How do I check if my email is hacked?

Simply go to our homepage and enter your email address into our search tool. We will securely check our extensive database of known breaches to see if your email has been exposed.

What should I do if I am pwned?

Don't panic! Immediately change the passwords for the affected accounts. If you used the same password on other websites, change them there too. We highly recommend using a password manager and enabling 2-Factor Authentication (2FA).

Do you store my searches?

Absolutely not. Your privacy is paramount. All searches are processed anonymously in memory and never written to our database.
