Get an alert automatically when a new data breach is reported

Checks a public breach database every 15 minutes and flags any new breach so you can react before customers ask.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats scheduled recheck of database.

The problem it solves

You can't watch every breach notification service yourself, and by the time you hear about a major leak on the news it may already be too late to protect your accounts or warn your team. Manually checking breach trackers is easy to forget and easy to miss.

Who it fits

Security-conscious small teams or individuals who want early warning of new data breaches without checking a website by hand.

How it works

  1. Checks a public breach-tracking database every 15 minutes
  2. Compares the newest breach against the last one it saw
  3. Skips it if nothing has changed
  4. Sends an alert the moment a genuinely new breach appears
What you get

Breaches you hear about before customers ask

You get an alert the moment a new data breach is reported publicly, so you can respond before customers start asking questions.

What you get

An alert as soon as a new data breach is publicly reported.

What you need

No special account is needed for the breach check itself, plus whatever email, Slack, or messaging account you want alerts sent to.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
