Good options to find if my data has been in a data breach?
June 30, 2018 9:53 AM   Subscribe

Reading about the Exactis data breach made me want to find out if my or my family's data is in this or any other known data breach, but I just don't have the time to track down the data myself and check it. Are there any reliable or trustworthy services that will check data exposure for you?

I don't mean a credit or identity theft monitoring service; I mean a service that will check if any identifiable data about you shows up in data dumps from breaches and/or is being traded somewhere in a black market (if that's even possible).

Seconding Have I Been Pwned. It will also send you alerts if your info is leaked in future data breaches.
