How to run your first breach scan
Step-by-step guide to scanning your email for data breach exposure with LeakedSource.
Running your first scan takes less than a minute and doesn't require an account.
Step 1: Enter your email on the homepage
Go to the LeakedSource homepage and enter your email address in the scan box. We check your email — and the network you're scanning from — against our full breach index.
Step 2: Review your results
Your scan results show how many breaches your email appears in and which breach sources are affected. This tells you at a glance whether your accounts are at risk.
Step 3: Create an account for details
A free account unlocks more depth: you can see the specific data types exposed in each breach (passwords, phone numbers, addresses, and so on), run up to 5 searches per day, and set up monitoring for up to 2 identities so you're alerted about future breaches automatically.
Step 4: Act on what you find
If a breach exposed one of your passwords, change it immediately on the affected service — and anywhere else you reused it. See What to do if your data was leaked for a complete checklist.
What if my scan comes back clean?
A clean scan is great news, but it isn't a guarantee — new breaches surface constantly. Setting up monitoring means we'll watch on your behalf and email you the moment your data appears in a newly indexed breach.
