You may need identity and privacy protection more than you know

Find out instantly if your privacy was breached and your identity exposed.

We’ll scan to see if your email has been compromised in a data breach.

I am 16 or over and own the email address I choose to scan. I accept McAfee’s privacy policy.

You must check the box to scan your email address

By clicking Scan, you accept McAfee's License Agreement and Privacy Notice. and confirm that you are 16 or over and own the email address you choose to scan.

Your data wasn't found in any breaches. Be safer with us.

With 37 billion consumer records stolen in 2020, we're here to help.

What should you do if your email IS NOT part of a breach?

Email is just one of many types of personal info found in data breaches.

Extensive monitoring with guidance

McAfee can help you keep tabs on up to 60 unique pieces of personal data, including email addresses, credit cards, bank accounts, government ID numbers, and more.

Additionally, we'll also help get you back to safety quickly and effectively with easy-to-understand guidance based on industry best practices.

Earlier, effective detection

A timely response can make your breached info entirely useless to a fraudster who is trying to find out more about you.

McAfee's identity monitoring service can detect and warn you of a breach an average of 10 months in advance of similar services, so you can secure your info before they use it to access more of your personal info.

Comprehensive security matters

Identity monitoring is just one of many ways McAfee can help keep you in the know if you're at risk. Hackers will generally pursue multiple avenues of attacks to try and get enough information on you or your loved ones to achieve identity fraud.

McAfee can help protect your privacy, identity, and devices under a comprehensive umbrella of protection, so you and your family can go online with peace-of-mind.

Scan another email

{{digitalData.breachInfo.email}} was found in {{digitalData.breachInfo.totalBreaches}} known data breaches.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Explore our plans and let's get you on the path to safety!

What should you do if your email is found as part of a breach?

Secure your account

Change your password for the affected login account. This will stop hackers from accessing your account and stealing more information about you.

With McAfee, you'll have access to detailed information to help you determine which account is at risk.

Use unique, strong passwords

An identity thief generally uses stolen login info from a breach to try and access other accounts that may have the same email and password combination.

Use a secure password manager to generate and store unique passwords for every site where you have an account. McAfee can help you with our encrypted password manager, synced online across multiple devices for your convenience.

Keep an eye out for additional breaches

Breaches occur when companies who have vulnerabilities in security are exploited by hackers.

McAfee can help you stay ahead of identity theft by detecting and alerting you of these breaches an average of 10 months in advance of similar services, to give you a fighting chance of averting identity theft altogether.

FAQs

These answers might help.

Identity theft refers to the unauthorized use of an individual's personally identifiable information (PII), such as name, national ID, bank information, and other sensitive information that can compromise a person’s privacy, security, and financial assets.

You can protect yourself against identity theft by securing your personal information -- online and offline. Make sure to engage in best practices such as using strong passwords, protecting your devices with updated security software, monitoring your bank transactions, securing your personal documents, and minimizing the amount of information you share online.

For proactive protection, McAfee® can actively monitor your sensitive information and give step-by-step guidance when you need it the most.

Begin by analyzing the situation and reviewing the compromised information. Then, notify the relevant authorities, such as your bank, coverage agency, a local police station, or a national cybercrime complaint center. While the relevant authorities are helping you with the case, check and secure your financial accounts, devices, and proof of identity.

The most common form of identity theft is financial identity theft, which refers to any type of theft when someone uses another individual’s information for financial gain. Some examples are New Account Fraud, Account Takeover Fraud, Business Identity Theft, and Tax-Related Identity Theft.

As online security threats grow, it's important to know if cybercriminals have stolen your personal information. If we find your data on the dark web, or you suspect that your data is on the dark web, this article from our knowledge center provides the steps to protect your identity.

You can access and manage your identity protection on protection.mcafee.com.

How did McAfee choose which data broker sites to monitor?
We selected the sites that we think pose the most privacy threats by looking at a number of criteria, including how prominent they are online, how much data they have in their database, the types of information they collect, and if a site is a data source for other people search sites. While no one can ever be completely immune from privacy and identity risks, knowing where your personal data is being collected and sold is a step in the right direction to reclaiming your privacy online.

How often does McAfee scan for my data on these sites?
We’ll automatically scan for your data every three months if you are enrolled in a plan that supports full-service removal.

How long does it take for McAfee to remove my data?
The time it takes to remove your personal data will vary based on the site. Under UK laws, data brokers are required to respond to a request for data deletion within one month. For plans that include full-service removal, requests to remove your data will be sent automatically. When it’s all done, we’ll let you know in your McAfee Protection Center.

Can I request the sites to remove my data by myself?
Yes, you certainly can. However, the process of manually reaching out to each individual people search site is time consuming . You may even have to provide them with more of your info before they will remove profiles about you. With full-service Personal Data Cleanup, requests to remove your data are sent automatically.
