Watch the video to learn more about the Compromised Password Scanner from Defendify. 

Welcome to Defendify! The all-in-one cybersecurity platform. Cybercriminals are constantly acquiring stolen user credentials from a number of different sources such as website employees may use. Once stolen this data is often sold traded and dumped in the dark web. The Defendify stolen password scanning tool aggregates data sources from the dark web matches them with your clients email addresses and reports any compromised passwords associated with them. Every month a new report is generated in Defendify, showing the results of the stolen password scanner including employee email, clear text or hashed passwords and the related data breach source. The Defendify stolen password scanning module allows you to proactively identify if a compromise may have happened to one of your clients from which you can take steps to correct it immediately.

This is just one of the modules under our Layered Security approach that work together to give you holistic protection.

More FAQs

A compromised password is an individual password that has been exposed in a data leak, documented in a breach, released publicly, or otherwise published online or found on the dark web. Read more about compromised passwords.

When a password database is compromised, the vendor usually will send an email to affected parties notifying them to change their password and enable other security measures, such as multi-factor authentication.

The best way to quickly know if any of your passwords have been leaked is to sign up for an ongoing dark web monitoring service, such as the Defendify Compromised Password Scanner.

Check your current exposure here.

When a password is “compromised”, it means that a vendor, website, application, or other service has been a victim of a data breach. Threat actors gain unauthorized access to large databases of usernames and passwords, personally identifiable information and other sensitive details. Often, they exfiltrate this data and begin selling, trading or circulating it on dark web and other illicit marketplaces.
