4 websites to check if your password is in the darkweb

On the darknet and hacker forums, billions of private information are leaked and sold daily. We’ve listed four websites you can use to find out if your credentials have been leaked. Data leaks are nearly impossible to avoid nowadays. Every year, about 4,000 firms are hacked and client data is stolen. Phishing messages are sent to victims using information that has been resold, which includes identifiers, email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, and bank cards. Those malicious email generally leads to scam or ransomware installation.

A leak may reveal your social media account information to promote fraudulent websites or make purchases without your knowledge. There are a lot of free tools that you can use to check for leakages on the internet. If your credentials leak on the web, you should check from time to time. We’ve tested all of these free tools.

They collect data from darknet sites and then seek for your information in their databases. It is only a matter of entering your email address in the search box to find out. It is free, and your information will not be collected. However, some websites provide more leaks and details about the information found.

You can combine queries to increase the accuracy of your results. If a positive answer is given, you should change your password and preferably choose a complex password combination.
