Have i been pwned mails
You're referring to the "Have I Been Pwned?" (HIBP) service!
Have I Been Pwned? is a free online service that allows you to check if your email address has been involved in any data breaches. The service was created by Troy Hunt, a well-known security researcher and blogger.
Here's how it works:
- You enter your email address in the HIBP search bar.
- The service checks its massive database of over 10 billion email addresses and 7,000+ data breaches to see if your email address has been compromised.
- If your email address has been found in a breach, you'll receive a notification with details about the breach, including the date, affected services, and any additional information available.
HIBP aggregates data from various sources, including:
- Publicly disclosed data breaches
- Leaked databases and files
- Compromised password lists
- Other sources of compromised email addresses
By using HIBP, you can:
- Identify if your email address has been compromised
- Take steps to secure your accounts and change passwords
- Monitor your email address for potential phishing attempts
Keep in mind that HIBP is not a guarantee that your email address has never been compromised, as new breaches and data leaks can occur at any time. However, it's a valuable tool for staying informed and taking proactive measures to protect your online identity.
So, have you been pwned?
