Security breaches happen, from credit card numbers coming from major chain stores to the most recent hack of Gmail. It’s hard to stay on top of what passwords you need to change what accounts were affected. Enter KnowEm’s newest free service to keep track if your account has been affected: KnowEm’s Security Alert.
As of September 10th 2014 over 5 million gmail passwords and accounts were hacked and leaked onto the internet. KnowEm has prepared a publicly searchable database of all of the accounts that were effected. To check if your account has been effected simply type your Gmail address into the box and we’ll let you know if it’s on the list. If you were not effected you are safe (for now), but it’s always a good time for a security and password audit of your accounts.
As much as we hate to be the bringer of bad news, we will do our best to keep the site updated with the latest security breaches and account information making it easy to search and see if you need to go on a password changing spree.
what do you do with all the email addresses that people enter into this search box Security Alert?
Nothing. We do not store any of the data. Same as if you were searching social media profiles. No data is stored at all.
how do i check if i was hacked? dont see the “box”
thanks
