Data Breach Search helps investigators and security teams identify sensitive information exposures across the surface, deep, and dark web. It works as a standalone tool and can also integrate with the DigitalStakeout XTI OSINT Platform, where it becomes part of a broader search and monitoring ecosystem for open source intelligence and threat detection.

Credit Card Number – Identify exposed card data patterns
Domain – Look for breaches tied to your organization or assets
Email Address – Detect compromised emails in leak repositories
Ethereum Address, IBAN, MAC Address, and UUIDs
