Understanding Data Breaches
A data breach occurs when sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorized to do so. Common types of breached data include:
- Email addresses and passwords
- Personal identification information
- Financial data (credit cards, bank details)
- Health records
- Corporate intellectual property
Security Best Practices
- Use unique passwords for every account - password reuse is a major security risk
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
- Monitor financial statements for unauthorized activity
- Be wary of phishing attempts - never click suspicious links in emails
- Consider a password manager to generate and store complex passwords
- Regularly check for breaches - new data leaks occur frequently
This tool is provided for educational and security awareness purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee all breaches are detected. Always practice good security hygiene regardless of breach check results.
