Your personal information is still out there. We start removing it today.
The FTC's IdentityTheft.gov walks you through the recovery steps. What it can't do: remove your name, address, and family connections from the data brokers and people-search sites that fed the attack. That's what Delist does — and we keep pushing until it stays off.

Once an attacker has enough of your data to commit one fraud, they typically have enough to attempt several more. The follow-on attempts draw from the same pool of broker-published context that was available before the first incident.
Closing the accounts doesn't remove the source data
Whatever combination of your data was used in the original attack — name, SSN from a breach, address from a people-search site, family from broker links — is still searchable. Resolving the fraud doesn't touch the underlying exposure.
Different attack types use the same fuel
Credit-card fraud, tax-refund fraud, medical fraud, and social-engineering all draw from the same personal-data context. Reducing the broker layer once cuts the rate across all the follow-on categories.
Recovery and removal are separate tracks
The FTC playbook closes the fraud and remediates accounts. It does not remove you from the breach corpus or the broker layer. That work runs in parallel and doesn't happen automatically.
The 1-year fraud alert expires
The standard fraud alert from a credit bureau lasts one year. After that, the credit-side defense weakens unless you re-file or upgrade to a permanent freeze. Privacy work helps cover the gap.
The credit freeze stops new fraudulent accounts. Removing your data from brokers and people-search sites takes away what a follow-on attack would lean on: your address, your family, your history.

Scan brokers and breach sources
The free scan covers data brokers, people-search sites, and known leak databases. You see exactly what is still findable about you right now.
We're removing the broker-published data
Removal requests across the brokers we cover, with escalation where it applies. Your address, family relationships, employer, and address history — we push on each one.
Monitoring for new breaches
Continuous monitoring across breach sources. If your identifiers surface in a new leak, you're notified so you can act before someone else does.
Re-listing detection, on autopilot
Brokers re-add data within weeks or months. We catch and re-submit removals automatically so the work stays done.
