About Have I Been Pwned

Have I Been Pwned lets anyone search an email address or phone number to see whether it has appeared in publicly known data breaches. It also offers breach notifications by email, domain monitoring for organizations, and a password-checking service used by other apps and websites. The service launched on December 4, 2013, and was created by Australian security researcher Troy Hunt. It is listed under Australia and has a Wikipedia article. Its haveibeenpwned.com domain was registered in 2013. The site publishes about, help, terms and privacy pages and has profiles on X, Facebook and LinkedIn. If a search shows your email in a breach, change the password for that service and anywhere else you used the same password. A password manager makes it easier to use a different password for every account, and two-factor authentication adds protection even if a password leaks. Be alert for phishing emails that mention a breach and ask you to click a link or enter details. Only search breach services through their real address, typed directly into your browser.
