Are there any ways to check the breach to see if my information is there, other than downloading it myself? I’m not sure of the legality of doing so.


I've seen https://npd.pentester.com/ floating around


The data seems to be at least 15 years old.


For me, it matches (DOB, last 2 of SSN) and seems fresh (has newest address, as well as older ones).


There is a free service call Have I Been Pwned which uses your email address to see what data breaches you are part of (https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

While it uses your email to check (not SSN) odds are if they have your SSN in the dataset they also have your email.


The OP post says that emails in this breach are paired with random names and SSNs, so it's not a good indicator.


Oh sorry, I missed that!
