Incident Desk LIVE

When a breach breaks, the first question is usually an identity question: whose credentials, which tokens, what could they reach. Emergency briefings separate what is confirmed from what is only claimed and say what to check this week. The feed below tracks identity-related incidents from official and specialist sources as they are reported.

Has this password been in a breach?

Your password never leaves this page. Your browser hashes it and sends only the first five characters of the hash to Have I Been Pwned's Pwned Passwords service, then compares the results locally.

Is this email address in a known breach?

Coming soon. Until then you can check at haveibeenpwned.com.

How this works

The feed reads the UK National Cyber Security Centre, CISA, Have I Been Pwned's newly added breaches and specialist security news (The Record, BleepingComputer, The Hacker News, The Register) every 15 minutes. Each new item is rated by a model for how much identity is at the heart of it; only identity-related items appear here. Ratings are automated and can be wrong, and a feed item is a report, not a confirmed fact.

Briefings are written from multiple reports, fact-checked against those sources, and reviewed by me before they are published. If something here affects you or your organisation, get in touch.
