Overview
Data breaches exposed 4.1 billion records in the first six months of 2019. The chances are that your information has already been compromised, and you don't even know it yet. Use this tool to check what information has been leaked to the dark web.
Dark Web Scanning Tool
This tool allows you to scan the dark web for breaches that may expose your personal information, such as your name, email, password, phone number, physical address, and more. Simply enter an email address or username, and this tool will list any known data breaches that contain this information.
If an email has been leaked, make sure that you are keeping an eye out for fake emails, such as phishing emails. If a password was leaked to the dark web, your next step is to go to the corresponding website and make sure you change the password as soon as possible.
