Leaked.Domains FAQ
General Questions
What is a "breach" and a "leaked database" and where do they come from?
A "breach" signifies a critical security incident where a website or online service's defenses are compromised due to vulnerabilities in its system or inadequately implemented access controls. Cyber attackers exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized entry, potentially leading to the unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive data.
A "leaked database" emerges as the aftermath of a breach, manifesting when attackers successfully infiltrate a compromised website or service and extract its data. This purloined information is then illicitly disclosed in online environments. Attackers often either sell this data on darkweb markets, where illicit transactions are common, or share it within underground hacker forums to gain notoriety or profit. The leaked database can contain a vast range of information, such as user credentials, personal identifiers, financial records, and more.
The genesis of breaches and leaked databases lies in the relentless targeting of digital entities by malicious actors. With the widespread use of technology and the constant interconnectivity of online services, numerous websites and platforms fall victim to breaches daily. These breaches stem from various factors, including vulnerabilities in software, human errors, misconfigured security settings, or a combination of these. Once a breach occurs, the extracted data, now transformed into a leaked database, finds its way onto diverse platforms.
Leaked databases can surface on multiple online arenas, such as the clear-web, where public internet access is prevalent, hacker forums, known for their discussions on cyber exploits, and the darkweb, a hidden and encrypted realm of the internet. It's noteworthy that the accessibility of these leaked databases has been simplified, allowing even individuals with basic internet proficiency to locate and download copies of this sensitive data. This underscores the urgency for comprehensive cybersecurity practices, prompt breach detection, and proactive measures to prevent unauthorized access.
What makes Leaked.Domains different from other online database repositories?
Targeted Audience: Leaked.Domains is not a run-of-the-mill database repository accessible to the general public. Instead, it caters to a niche audience including LE/Gov entities, security researchers, domain owners, organizations, and authorized third parties. This exclusive focus ensures that the platform is harnessed by those with legitimate reasons for accessing and analyzing the data.
Enterprise Domain Ownership Validation: Access to data on Leaked.Domains is contingent upon valid proof of domain ownership or explicit permission to access the data. This stringent requirement enhances data security and safeguards against unauthorized usage.
Duplicate Data Removal: The platform employs meticulous measures to eliminate duplicate data from raw results. Leaked.Domains consolidates massive compilation lists, such as those from sources like Collection #1-#5, Breach Comp, Exploit.In, and Anti Public, into a comprehensive compilation table named CompDB. This curatorial effort ensures that users receive results devoid of inflated duplicate entries, fostering accuracy and relevance.
Comprehensive Coverage: While some results from CompDB may overlap with other breaches integrated into Leaked.Domains, a notable portion of data remains distinct. This diverse coverage aims to present users with an expansive dataset that may not be entirely duplicated across various breaches, providing a more comprehensive view of the landscape.
Focused Utility: Leaked.Domains is purpose-built to serve as a valuable resource for LE/Gov entities, security researchers, organizations, and authorized third parties.

By identifying compromised data that could be exploited for Unauthorized Authenticated Access, predicting password patterns, or fueling phishing campaigns, Leaked.Domains equips users with actionable insights to pre-emptively address vulnerabilities.

The platform's interface and functionalities are geared towards facilitating seamless navigation, efficient searches, and effective data interpretation, ensuring that users can extract maximum value with minimal effort.

"Are we safe?"
The absence of associated leaked data within your domain on Leaked.Domains does not definitively guarantee your domain's security. While the platform may not presently display any linked data, it's important to recognize that the absence of such data doesn't preclude the possibility that your domain may have been compromised in another breach or security incident. Leaked.Domains encompasses a continually expanding subset of publicly available leaks, and its datasets undergo regular updates to reflect the evolving landscape of breaches.
It's advisable not to solely rely on the current absence of data as an indicator of domain security. Instead, consider it an opportunity to proactively assess and strengthen your domain's defenses. The absence of your domain's presence within the Leaked.Domains dataset may be temporary, and data associated with your domain could potentially surface at a later point.
To ensure ongoing vigilance and prompt notification in case of any future data inclusion, consider signing up for Leaked.Domains' asset monitoring service. This service offers the advantage of timely alerts when any data related to your assets are added to the Leaked.Domains repository. By embracing domain monitoring, you empower yourself to take swift actions to address potential security risks, enhancing your company's resilience against emerging threats.

This step marks the gateway to accessing the full spectrum of functionalities available on the platform.
How can I confirm ownership of a domain on Leaked.Domains?
The process of confirming domain ownership involves two distinct options, each designed to accommodate different preferences and circumstances:
Verification Email Method: Upon selecting this option, a verification email will be dispatched to email addresses linked to the domain, including admin@, administrator@, hostmaster@, postmaster@, or webmaster@(yourdomain.com). Within the Leaked.Domains application, users will have the opportunity to designate the specific email address to which the verification email should be sent. Upon receipt of the verification email, clicking the embedded verification link will grant the user's account access to the domain data, ensuring seamless verification.
TXT Record Addition Method: This alternative approach involves adding a TXT record to the designated domain entry within your DNS register. Leaked.Domains facilitates this process by generating a unique key within the application. Users are required to embed this unique key within the TXT record. For comprehensive guidance on adding a TXT record, consult your DNS register for the requisite steps. Subsequently, the process is finalized by clicking the "DNS verify" button within the application. It's important to note that propagation of this verification may take up to 48 hours. In case the TXT record is not detected even after this propagation period, our team can be reached at info@leaked.domains for further assistance.
It's important to consider that while these verification methods provide a robust means of confirming ownership, access might be restricted for domains associated with certain free email providers. In such cases, access to data pertaining to these domains is not granted to users.
