Utilize the Leaked Dark Web Data API to search through a wide collection of breached databases to lookup email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, or passwords. The API response is available in JSON or XML formats. Our dark web monitoring service tracks all new compromised databases and even private database leaks not available to the public.

Compromised data on the dark web is a strong indication that the information will be used by hackers, bad actors, or other types of abusive users. This could include a variety of fraud attack vectors including account takeover, chargebacks, fake accounts/applications, and digital impersonation.
