Your phone number is often used to identify you when you create an account on a website or in an application. If you are not sure whether accounts associated with your phone number are safe, you can check them using the Kaspersky application. The application uses your phone number to detect if associated accounts have been compromised and your data is in danger of being publicly accessible.
Note: When Identity Theft Check 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.
If the check discovers that your data may have become public, the application will 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.
