The Breach Report statistics
Have your personal details been affected by a breach? They probably have! Find out about the statistics behind the database of breached sites online.
Our team of data scientists and programmers behind Breach Report have collected and analyzed publicly available privacy breaches. As a result, we bring you the biggest database on privacy breach of security data currently available on the web.
The Breach Report website has been created for individuals and corporate entities interested in investigating whether their personal information has been compromised. The searchable BreachReport database contains information on email addresses, usernames, passwords and domain names which have been leaked in any of the first 9,999 breaches that we collected for our analysis.
Currently, you can search through our databases using the email address or the domain name to check the number of breaches your information has been found in. We will not disclose publicly in which databases that is. In the nearest future, we will introduce accounts and subscription packages for alerting users who wish to be notified when their domains, emails and other personal information are affected by a known breach of security information. Furthermore, you will be able to search through the database by passwords as well.
The Statistics of the Breach Report database:
Our database contains 14,617 files with 10.2 billion lines of breached information.
Out of those, 9.1 billion are containing an email address.
Trimmed down to the number of 2.59 billion unique email addresses.
We would like to use this opportunity to stress out the importance of unique passwords used for accessing different sites. There is a general tendency of internet users to repeat passwords for several websites.
For corporate entities, our database contains information on 39 million domain names used in those email addresses. With our subscription package, you will be notified as soon as your domain name has been detected in a newly breached list.
Take a look below at the numbers of lines across the top 10 Top Level Domains (Tld’s) our files contain. The most widespread .com tld has 1.5 billion entries in the database, followed by .ru and .net.
