"We’ve all heard about high-profile data breaches at places like Optus and
Medibank, but there are thousands more of them that we don’t hear about.

That’s why Australian online security expert Troy Hunt created Have I Been
Pwned?
 — a service that tracks stolen data across the internet, and is used by
numerous national governments, security services and law enforcement.

Now, we’ve used Hunt’s database to help you:

* Find out what data breaches you’ve been caught up in

* See a visual summary of the potential scale of the leaked information out
there about you

* Understand how something known as “the mosaic effect” can increase the risks
we all face online"
