Otherwise, any indirect (and still dangerous) search you undertook would either confirm that you are at risk, or would actually be useless - because you couldn't be sure whether the search would have found your data, and its failure means they aren't there, or if your data are actually there, and the search did not succeed in rooting them out. Also, you could probably achieve the same results by requesting the credit monitoring from the institution responsible, and hoping to hear 'Sorry, sir: you are not eligible for monitoring since your data were not among the ones leaked'. At that point you're safe - against that one database.Д«ut this is a risky business: obtaining the database would be illegal, and even searching for it might land you in a world of hurt. Unless you took upon yourself to seize a copy of the leaked database, and after searching it, you confirmed not being in there. Unfortunately, I don't think that this kind of research is going to do you much good. However, I can do my personal best to be informed as much as possible on the state of my credit risk and current vulnerability. If the information is out there, it's out there and there's nothing we can do to stop the spread of the information. However, I don't think that's a good excuse to hide this information and not be given a straight answer. Yes, I could be lying and looking for a quick way to find 100 SSNs. With that said, what is the best way for a non-hacker, developer or tech-savvy 'power user' to search and discover leaked data so that they can verify whether they are vulnerable from a specific leak? I imagine that when this data was leaked, it was seeded to all of the 'typical' dark web sources. After that, the millions of us who were vulnerable are left to monitor ourselves and 'hope' for the best.

The institution that this information has leaked from had to give all possibly affected individuals free credit monitoring for 1 year. This means that floating around on the dark web, their could be enough information for a kid to open a credit card in my name and wreak havoc on my life. Unfortunately, I'd peg my chances of being in that database at about 80-90%. This may seem like a rather nefarious question, however, my motivations are quite the opposite- I want to know how at risk I might be!ДЄ while ago a very MASSIVE database was leaked that contained the personal information of millions of people.
