Cybercrime is a real and growing threat. According to the World Economic Forum, the global cost of malicious hacking is expected to rise to $23 trillion. To put that into perspective, in 2022, the global cost was estimated to be $8 trillion. A meagre number in comparison to what the future holds.
I mean, it seems like every other day there’s a new data breach. That’s why an Indie-maker named Jack decided to take things into his own hands. He recently realized he was sitting on over three billion entries of data breaches on the dark net due to his job as an ethical hacker and red teamer and decided to put that data to use for good.
“Do hackers know me?” is a website that lets you query that exact data to see what hackers know about you. The goal is to see yourself through the hacker's eyes so you can quickly rectify any vulnerabilities.
You can scan the dark net for leaks involving things like your email address, phone number, bank details, social security number, and more. From there, the site will get to work trawling through the three billion records, and if it finds something, it will present you with exactly what was leaked, what site or service it was leaked from, and help you rectify it so that it doesn’t happen again.
If you’re curious about your data, you can test it out for free by using the email check option.
