Email Leak Checker

What is an Email Leak Checker?

An Email Leak Checker scans databases of known data breaches to see if your email address has been compromised. When companies get hacked, stolen data often ends up on the dark web - this tool tells you if your information was exposed.

Why Would You Need to Check for Email Leaks?

Data breaches happen constantly, and you might not even know your information was stolen. Here's why checking matters:

• Password security: If your email was in a breach that included passwords, hackers might try those passwords on your other accounts
• Identity theft: Leaked personal information can be used for fraud and impersonation
• Account takeovers: Criminals buy breach data to break into email, banking, and social media accounts
• Targeted phishing: Knowing your email and which services you use helps scammers craft convincing fake messages
• Peace of mind: Confirm your accounts are safe, or take action if they're not

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my email safe to enter here?

Yes. We only send your email to check against breach databases - we don't store it, sell it, or use it for any other purpose. The check is completely private.

What should I do if my email was found in a breach?

First, change your password for any account using that email - especially if passwords were leaked. Enable two-factor authentication, and watch for suspicious activity on your accounts.

Does "no breaches found" mean I'm completely safe?

It means your email wasn't found in any known, public breaches. Some breaches are never discovered or disclosed. Always practice good security habits regardless of results.

How often should I check my email?

We recommend checking every few months, or whenever you hear about a major breach at a service you use. New breaches are added to databases regularly.
