Breaches

Breaches

An index and topic collection covering data breach intelligence, credential exposure databases, dark-web monitoring, and leak detection APIs. Breach intelligence platforms aggregate compromised credentials, stealer logs, ransomware leak-site posts, underground forum chatter, and dark-web marketplace listings into queryable APIs that security teams use to detect exposure of their organization, employees, customers, executives, and supply-chain partners. This collection indexes services like Have I Been Pwned for consumer breach lookup, Pwned Passwords for k-anonymity credential checks, enterprise breach intelligence platforms (CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Splunk), credential and identity exposure monitors (Okta, Auth0, 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden), vulnerability and exposure feeds (NVD, CISA, Qualys, Rapid7, Tanium), and regulatory breach-notification authorities (CISA, FTC, NIST) that publish machine-readable feeds of disclosed breaches and known-exploited vulnerabilities.

extensionCommon Features

extensionEmail and Account Breach Lookup

APIs like Have I Been Pwned let consumers and security teams check whether an email address, username, or phone number has appeared in known data breaches and stealer log corpora.

extensionPwned Password Checking (K-Anonymity)

The Pwned Passwords API exposes 800+ million breached password hashes through a k-anonymity protocol, letting applications block known-compromised credentials without transmitting full hashes.

extensionDark Web and Underground Forum Monitoring

Enterprise breach intelligence platforms continuously scrape dark-web marketplaces, ransomware leak sites, Telegram channels, and underground forums for mentions of customer data, executives, brands, and credentials.

extensionStealer Log and Credential Exposure Feeds

Modern breach intelligence increasingly centers on infostealer malware logs (RedLine, Raccoon, Vidar, LummaC2) that capture browser-stored credentials, session cookies, and crypto wallets at scale.

extensionRansomware Leak-Site Tracking

Threat intelligence APIs track ransomware group leak sites (LockBit, Cl0p, ALPHV, Akira) to surface newly disclosed victim organizations and stolen data postings as they appear.

extensionVulnerability and Exposure Feeds

Authoritative vulnerability databases (NVD, CISA KEV) and commercial exposure platforms (Qualys, Rapid7, Tanium) expose CVE, CVSS, and known-exploited-vulnerability metadata via API.

extensionRegulatory Breach Notification Feeds

Government authorities (FTC, state AGs, EU DPAs, HHS) publish disclosed breach filings; security teams ingest these feeds to track third-party and supply-chain breach exposure.

extensionCredential Stuffing Defense

Identity providers (Okta, Auth0) and password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass) integrate with breach feeds to block re-use of known-compromised passwords and force resets on exposed accounts.

task_altUse Cases

task_altEmployee Credential Exposure Monitoring

Security teams continuously query breach intelligence APIs for corporate email domains to detect employee credentials exposed in third-party breaches and infostealer logs, triggering forced password resets.

task_altCustomer Account Takeover Prevention

Consumer applications integrate Pwned Passwords and breach lookup APIs at signup and login to block known-compromised credentials and notify customers of exposure.

task_altExecutive and VIP Protection

Brand and executive protection teams use dark-web monitoring APIs to detect doxxing, leaked personal data, and impersonation targeting C-suite, board members, and high-value employees.

task_altThird-Party and Supply-Chain Risk

GRC teams ingest breach-notification feeds and regulatory disclosures via API to track breach incidents at vendors, suppliers, and partners that handle their data.

task_altRansomware Victim Intelligence

Threat intel teams subscribe to ransomware leak-site feeds via API to alert on newly named victims relevant to their industry, supply chain, or geography.

task_altVulnerability Prioritization

Vulnerability management teams combine NVD CVE data, CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, and commercial exposure platforms to prioritize patching based on breach exploitation evidence.

task_altRegulatory Breach Disclosure Compliance

Privacy and legal teams query FTC, state AG, and EU DPA breach-notification APIs to track required disclosures and benchmark their own incident response.

task_altAI Agent Breach Triage

AI agents wired to breach intelligence APIs autonomously enrich security alerts with exposure context, correlate stolen credentials with active sessions, and draft incident-response runbooks.

integration_instructionsIntegrations

integration_instructionsHave I Been Pwned

The canonical consumer breach-lookup service with 13+ billion breached accounts and 800+ million pwned passwords accessible via free and paid API tiers.

integration_instructionsCrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence

Enterprise threat intelligence platform with adversary tracking, dark-web monitoring, and breach exposure feeds delivered via the Falcon API.

integration_instructionsMicrosoft Defender Threat Intelligence

Threat intelligence and breach exposure feeds integrated across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Graph Security APIs.

integration_instructionsSplunk Enterprise Security

SIEM platform that ingests breach intelligence and credential exposure feeds for correlation against authentication and access logs.

integration_instructionsCISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)

Authoritative catalog of CVEs with evidence of active exploitation, published by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency as a machine-readable feed.

integration_instructionsNVD CVE API

The National Vulnerability Database REST API exposing CVE records, CVSS scores, CPE mappings, and CWE classifications used as the foundation of breach root-cause analysis.

integration_instructionsOkta and Auth0

Identity platforms that integrate breach-password feeds to block known-compromised credentials and trigger step-up authentication on suspected account takeover.

integration_instructions1Password Watchtower

Consumer and enterprise password manager that surfaces breach exposure for stored credentials via integration with Have I Been Pwned and proprietary feeds.
