Data breaches happen far more often than many people realise, with millions of email addresses, passwords and personal details exposed every year.
haveibeenpwned.com is a trusted free tool that lets you check whether your email address has appeared in known data breaches. It’s a quick way to see if your information may have been compromised.
It’s worth checking regularly and whenever a major breach is reported. If your email appears in a breach, change your password immediately, use a unique password for every account, and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
