Surfshark’s free Data Leak Checker offers users a simple tool to verify whether their personal data has been exposed in a data breach. This tool, powered by Surfshark Alert and launched in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, allows users to input their email addresses to detect potential compromises in databases or due to malware-related activities. Upon scanning, users receive a report categorizing the risks into database breaches and malware threats.
Surfshark’s free Data Leak Checker is designed to be user-friendly in order to ensure that even those without technical knowledge can take proactive steps to protect their information. The tool’s launch highlights the increasing importance of data security, as more than 18 billion user accounts have been compromised globally over the past two decades.
