Breach notifications tell you what was stolen. They don't mention the personal information already published on data broker sites that anyone can find with a search. Your home address, phone number, family members, employment history. Attackers combine breach data with broker data to build complete profiles for identity theft, targeted phishing, and fraud. The breach is the trigger. Broker exposure is the accelerant.
Check your exposure now →Breach notifications tell you to change your password. Nobody tells you about the 50+ sites publishing your home address right now.
A breach leaks your email and password hash. On its own, that's bad. But attackers then search broker sites for that email and find your full name, home address, phone number, employer, and family members. The breach gives them the key. Broker data gives them the map to everything else.
The breach notification tells you one company lost your data. Meanwhile, your personal information is openly published on dozens or hundreds of data broker sites that anyone can access without hacking anything.
Equifax 2017 (147 million records). T-Mobile 2021 and 2023. MOVEit 2023. Change Healthcare 2024. National Public Data 2024. Each made headlines. None mentioned the broker sites quietly publishing the same data alongside it.
Broker profiles list household members as "associated people." If your email appeared in a breach, attackers can search broker sites for your name and find your spouse, children, parents, and their contact details. One person's breach becomes the whole family's exposure through broker-published relationship data.

Check your exposure now →We scan 1,000+ data broker and people-search sites to find every listing publishing your personal information. The scan shows you exactly which sites have your name, address, phone number, and family details, and how attackers could combine this with breached data.
Removal requests go out to every identified broker simultaneously. Automated opt-out forms, CCPA/GDPR legal deletion requests, and operator-group resolution for networks of sites that share the same underlying database. No waiting in line.
Each removal is independently verified. Brokers that don't comply receive legal escalation. Persistent listings get additional remediation rounds. Your dashboard shows real-time progress across every site.
Brokers rebuild profiles from public records. Continuous monitoring catches re-listings and re-submits removal requests automatically. Breach monitoring alerts you to new breaches involving your email so you can act before the combination of new breach data and any remaining broker exposure becomes a problem.
