Methodology
Recent Data Leaks aggregates breach information from public sources and normalizes it into a single timeline.
Sources
- Have I Been Pwned — the catalog of confirmed, verified breaches, including the company, date, number of accounts, and the categories of data exposed.
- Security news — breach reporting from BleepingComputer, The Hacker News, Krebs on Security, The Record, and SecurityWeek, filtered to genuine data-breach incidents.
How it works
- Sources are fetched server-side and combined into one feed, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes.
- News headlines are filtered with breach-specific keywords, and near-duplicate stories about the same incident are collapsed.
- Each breach page adds an original summary, the exposed-data categories, and "what to do if affected" guidance.
- Account totals and dates come directly from the source records.
Limitations
Breach data is inherently incomplete and sometimes revised after disclosure. Account counts are estimates reported at the time. Always confirm details with the original source before acting. Currently tracking 1000 incidents.
