Check whether your email or passwords were in a data breach
Big companies leak data regularly, and your details may be in a dump you never heard about. A free, reputable tool tells you in seconds, so you can act before a scammer does.
- Go to haveibeenpwned.com, a well-regarded free breach-checking service.
- Enter your email address and read the list of breaches it appears in.
- For each breach, note what was exposed — email only is minor, but passwords or ID details are serious.
- Change the password on any account tied to a breach where credentials leaked, and anywhere you reused that password.
- Use the site’s Passwords tool to check whether a specific password has appeared in any breach.
- Consider subscribing to its free notify service, so you are alerted to future breaches involving your email.
