Email Breach Checker

Check whether your email address appears in known breach datasets and publicly reported exposure records — and exactly what was exposed.

Powered by the IntelX breach intelligence engine + DarkWatch monitoring. Searches known leaked databases, pastes and publicly reported exposure records. Your email is not stored or logged.
What this does not do: this is not a live scan of the entire dark web and cannot guarantee detection of every exposure. No database is complete — a clean result means no match in the datasets we search, not proof your email was never exposed. Searches run through a third-party breach intelligence provider (IntelX).

📚 Data Breach FAQ

What does "found in a data breach" mean? It means your email address appeared in a database that was stolen from a company or website and leaked online — often with passwords, names, phone numbers or payment details.

How did my email get in a breach? Through a website or app you registered with that was hacked. Your data is then bought, sold and shared by criminals, and used to target you with scams.

I use that email for everything — what now? Change the password on every account using it, turn on 2FA, and never reuse the same password. Use a password manager to keep track.

Why should I check if my email was breached? Breached data is used for phishing, fraud and identity theft. Knowing you were exposed lets you secure your accounts before criminals use what they have.

Is my password also at risk? If the breach included passwords, yes — especially if you reused them. Change passwords for any account that shared the same one.
