Have you been compromised?

How to tell if your email account has been compromised in a breach

Enter your personal and/or work email address via the link below

 If the results indicate your email has been involved in a breach, we recommend the following:

  1. Change your password on the site involved in the breach.
  2. If you have re-used the same password on multiple sites - change all passwords to something unique.  You should always avoid re-using passwords across multiple sites.
  3. If the site offers two-factor or multi-authentication, consider enabling this option (especially if the site contains sensitive payment or personal information related to you or someone in your family).  NOTE:  This is a method of confirming a user's identity only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence, such as something you have or something you know.
  4. You may wish to consider using a password manager to store and manage your passwords for various online accounts in an encrypted format.
