Data Leak Checker
September 6, 2023
ID 241861
If you are not sure whether your accounts on certain websites are safe, you can check them using the Kaspersky application. The application can detect if your accounts have been compromised and your data is in danger of being publicly accessible.
Note: The Kaspersky application can only check accounts that use an email address as the user name. When Data Leak Checker is used, Kaspersky does not receive data in an openly-accessible format, and does not store it. The data is only used for scanning. On detecting a leak, the application does not gain access to the user data itself, but only provides information about categories of data that may be publicly accessible.
By default, the Kaspersky application tries to check your user accounts when you are authorized on a particular website.
If the check discovers that your data may have become public, the application will notify you and display the following information:
- A list of websites from which a data leak could have occurred.
- The date of the possible leak.
- The category of data that may be publicly accessible.
You can learn how to minimize the consequences of a possible data leak by clicking the corresponding data category.
Check if your account has been compromised
In Kaspersky Plus and Premium, the application can check your email address each time you sign in to your account on websites.
