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:

  1. You enter your email address in the HIBP search bar.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. Publicly disclosed data breaches
  2. Leaked databases and files
  3. Compromised password lists
  4. Other sources of compromised email addresses

By using HIBP, you can:

  1. Identify if your email address has been compromised
  2. Take steps to secure your accounts and change passwords
  3. 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?
