What exactly is a "breach," and how did the information come to light?
A "breach" is an incident in which data is inadvertently exposed in a vulnerable system, typically due to insufficient access controls or security flaws in the software. HIBP aggregates breaches and allows people to determine where their personal information has been exposed.
Are user passwords stored on this site?
When the site receives email addresses from a data breach, no corresponding passwords are loaded with them. In addition to the pwned address search, the Pwned Passwords service lets you see if a specific password has previously been seen in a data breach. No password is stored alongside any personally identifiable data (such as an email address), and all passwords are SHA-1 hashed (read why SHA-1 was chosen in the Pwned Passwords launch blog post.)
Can I send users their exposed passwords?
No. Any ability to send passwords to people increases the risk to both them and myself. This topic is covered in detail in my blog post about why I don't make passwords available through this service.
Is a list of everyone's email addresses or usernames available?
The public search engine can only return results for a single user-supplied email address or username at a time. The domain search feature can retrieve multiple breached accounts, but only after successfully verifying that the person performing the search is authorized to access assets on the domain.
What about breaches where passwords aren't leaked?
On rare occasions, a breach is added to the system that does not include credentials for an online service. This can happen when personal information is leaked and does not include a username and password. This data, however, has a privacy impact; it is data that those impacted would not reasonably expect to be publicly released, and as such, they have a vested interest in being notified of this.
How is a breach verified as legitimate?
Attackers frequently announce "breach" announcements, which are later exposed as hoaxes. There is a trade-off between making data searchable as soon as possible and performing adequate due diligence to establish the legitimacy of the breach. In order to validate breach legitimacy, the following activities are typically carried out:
Has the impacted service publicly acknowledged the breach?
Is the data in the breach searchable on Google (i.e. it's just copied from another source)?
Is the data structure consistent with what you'd expect to see in a breach?
Have the attackers provided enough evidence to prove the attack vector?
Do the attackers have a track record of either releasing or falsifying breaches?
What exactly is a "paste," and why is it included on this website?
A "paste" is information that has been "pasted" to a publicly accessible website for sharing content, such as Pastebin. These services are popular among hackers due to the ease with which they can share information anonymously, and they are frequently the first place where a breach is discovered.
HIBP searches through pastes broadcast by the @dumpmon Twitter account and reported as containing emails that could be a sign of a breach. Finding an email address in a paste does not automatically imply that it has been exposed as a result of a breach. Examine the paste to see if your account has been compromised, and then take the necessary steps, such as changing passwords.
My email was reported to have appeared in a paste, but the paste can no longer be found.
Pastes are frequently transient; they appear briefly and then disappear. HIBP typically indexes a new paste within 40 seconds of its appearance and saves the email addresses that appeared in the past, as well as some metadata such as the date, title, and author (if they exist). The paste is not saved and cannot be displayed if it is no longer present at the source.
Does the fact that my email was not found mean that I haven't been pwned?
While HIBP is kept as up-to-date as possible, it only contains a small subset of all the records that have been breached over the years. Many breaches do not result in the public release of data, and many breaches go completely undetected. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence," which means that just because your email address wasn't found here doesn't mean it wasn't compromised in another breach.
