Copyable takeaway
What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Scores data broker presence, social media visibility, name+employer search results, old account exposure, password reuse, and breach history. Each weighted by severity.
Worked example
Public social media, appearing on data broker sites with detailed info, same password across accounts, and a recent breach: high exposure score — multiple easy attack vectors.
Common questions
What is a data broker?
Data brokers are companies that compile and sell personal information — name, address, relatives, employer, phone number. Sites like Spokeo, Whitepages, and BeenVerified aggregate this data. You can request removal from most.
What should I do if I appear in data breaches?
Change any passwords shared with the breached service immediately. Use a password manager to create unique passwords for every account. Check haveibeenpwned.com for a full breach history.
