Breached: Find out if the sites you visit have been pwned
Breached is a free browser extension for Chrome developed by Adam Pritchard. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
The main purpose of Breached is to provide users with information about the security of the websites they visit. It utilizes the haveibeenpwned.com database to determine if a site has been compromised in the past. When you visit a website, Breached will notify you if that site has been pwned, meaning it has experienced a security breach in which user data was compromised.
The extension features a simple and user-friendly interface. A button appears in the browser toolbar, and when clicked, it provides more details about the breaches associated with the visited site. It's important to note that Breached does not send any information about the sites you visit to external servers. All checks are performed locally, ensuring your privacy and security.
With Breached, you can have peace of mind knowing whether the websites you interact with have a history of being compromised. This extension is a valuable tool for anyone concerned about online security.
