Has Your Email Been Compromised?
Find Out in 3 Minutes (No Hassle)
Imagine that your email — the one you use for everything: signing up for online stores, social networks, even your bank — ends up on a leaked list after a company breach. What does that mean? What should you do? The good news is you can check it yourself in just a few minutes and regain control.
What Is a Data Breach?
A breach happens when someone gains unauthorized access to a company’s data. Often, that data ends up online (or on the dark web).
Think of it like burglars breaking into a company’s office. Instead of stealing computers, they photograph the filing cabinet with all the customer records. Those copied records (your email, phone number, etc.) are what then circulate online.
👉 Your email, password, phone number, or address might be among them.

What If Your Email Appears in a Breach?
Don’t panic. It’s more common than you think. What matters is acting calmly and following these steps:
- Change the password for that service.
Why? Because cybercriminals will try that same password on popular sites like Amazon, Google, or Facebook, hoping you reused it. - Enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
Why? It adds an extra layer of security. It’s like adding a second lock to your digital door. Even if they have your password, they can’t get in without a code that only you receive on your phone. - Never reuse that password again.
Why? Best practice is to use a unique, strong password for every service. Consider using a password manager to help you create and securely store them.
