  • Patent number: 12411943
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing an early warning notification to a user if the user was likely involved in a data breach. In an aspect, an apparatus scans an email account of a user of a user device to identify a set of service providers from which the email account of the user has received one or more emails, searches one or more data breach reporting databases for at least a subset of the set of service providers, and provides an indication to the user of whether personal information of the user is likely to have been exposed in a data breach, wherein the personal information of the user is likely to have been exposed in the data breach based on at least one service provider of the set of service providers being present in at least one of the one or more data breach reporting databases.

  • Patent number: 12164674
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing an exposure rating. In an aspect, a processing system provides, to a user, an exposure rating to enable the user to visualize a level of online exposure of their personal information, wherein the exposure rating is determined based at least in part on an email score and a data broker score, wherein the email score is determined based at least in part on a number of a set of commercial email domains determined from a scan of an email account of the user, a number of a set of protected commercial email domains, and an email portion of the exposure rating, and wherein the data broker score is determined based at least in part on a number of a set of known data brokers, a number of the set of protected data brokers, and a data broker portion of the exposure rating.
