In today's era, a large part of our lives has become technology-dependent. Using social media such as Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Google or Apple ID has now become an almost daily habit. But did you know that these digital accounts are always targeted by hackers? Recently, multiple reports have emerged that the passwords and personal information of billions of users are being leaked to dangerous platforms like the dark web. In this situation, it is very important to know whether your account is safe.
Here are four reliable online tools that can help you with this task. With the help of these tools, you can easily find out if the password of any of your social media accounts has been hacked.
The first tool is ‘Have I Been Pwned’. This is an internationally recognized and popular website where you can search with your email ID to find out if your information has ever been leaked in a data breach. Not only that, this site also shows a detailed list of when and from which website information was leaked.
The second tool is Google's 'Password Manager'. If you use the Chrome browser and have saved passwords, this tool will automatically analyze them and tell you—Whether any of your passwords have been leaked on the dark web, whether they are weak, or whether you are using the same password on multiple accounts.
The third tool is Apple's iCloud Keychain Monitoring. This feature is very useful for those who use iPhone, iPad or Mac. If the passwords saved in iCloud are somehow leaked or weak, Apple itself sends a warning and recommends changing them.
The fourth tool is Firefox Monitor and DeHashed. Firefox Monitor lets you easily find out if your information has been breached by email. DeHashed, on the other hand, is a more in-depth search-based service. Here, in addition to email, it can also find out information about hacking or leaks using usernames, phone numbers, or IP addresses.
Using these four tools, you can understand how secure your information is. If your information has been leaked somewhere, you should change the password for that account immediately. At the same time, you should keep Two-Factor Authentication enabled, so that no one can log in without your permission.
Finally, it is important to be vigilant in order to maintain security in the digital world. It is not enough to just use strong passwords, but also to know if your passwords are being leaked anywhere.So use these tools today, protect your digital identity and privacy yourself. Be careful, be safe.
