"HIBP is a free service that can give you an overview of whether or not it is likely your online accounts have been "pwned," or compromised, in a data breach. Once you've submitted your email address for review, you are told how many data breaches, if any, your information has been leaked in. A timeline will show when the data breach occurred, along with a useful summary of the stolen or dumped data."
"According to the Have I Been Pwned updates, the first set includes 183 million records. Data was uploaded to HIBP on Oct. 21 with the assistance of Synthient, a threat intelligence service that shared the data with Hunt. In total, 183 million unique email addresses, the websites they were used on, and the passwords they were associated with were included."
Have I Been Pwned is a free data breach search engine that allows anyone to submit an email address to see whether it appears in known breaches. Two new datasets were added: one of 183 million records uploaded on Oct. 21 with assistance from Synthient, containing unique email addresses, associated websites, and passwords; and a 3.9 million-account set added on Oct. 27 related to MyVidster. Pwned Passwords lets users check whether commonly used passwords appear in exposed datasets. HIBP does not reveal stolen records directly but provides breach overviews; 917 breaches totaling 15.32 billion accounts are indexed.
