Personal data is often underestimated by some people, and is often ignored when leaked to irresponsible parties.
Whereas from data such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, and various other data, when processed and used properly, can be harmful and of course detrimental to the victim.
Currently, there seems to be no way to check population data that has been leaked in cyberspace, but at least we can find out if the email addresses and passwords we use have spread from hacking.
To find out if our passwords and emails have ever been leaked in hacking, you can do a few things. Compiled by kai from various sources, here are some of them:
1. Am I For Sale
Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) is a popular website that has been around for a long time. They collect data that comes from various hacker events, and users can check if the emails they use are in the hacker database.
The database used by HIBP can also be accessed through other sites, one of which is periksadata.com created by Ethical Hackers. The way it works is the same, users just need to enter the email address into the search field, from where you will see that this email address has been leaked in any hacking incident.
2. Google Chrome
Google has security features built into its Chrome browser. Therefore, when a user enters a password on a website, Google will check whether the password has ever been spread in a hacking event that has occurred.
Now this feature is expanded, so in addition to warning users about leaked passwords, Google also provides direct access to the account page to change passwords.
3. Monitor Firefox
Just like Chrome, Firefox also provides email and password checking features through monitor.firefox.com. The way it works is quite similar, which is by entering an email into the search field.
Then you can see which emails have been used on the service or which sites have been leaked.
4. Avast
The security company Avast also has a similar system that can be accessed at avast.com/hackcheck/. The methods and search results are also stated the same as the website above.
