  • About us

    LeakedSource is already the best data breach monitoring service in the world and this batch of data pushes us over 2 billion records making us by far the largest as well. We're not done adding data either. Expect lots more breaches to be exposed including some in the crypto currency space.

    We have already helped multiple companies secure their users with our API which provides cracked plaintext passwords from all 2 billion records for businesses to compare against their own users and forcibly change affected passwords. If you're interested in using our services, contact us about an API key.

    Any journalists that want to get notified about breaches, DM us on Twitter with your email address

    Passwords

    Not a single website used proper password storage, they all used some variation of MD5 with or without unique salts.

    We thought the passwords used by the *.mail.ru communities were comical so here is their top 50
