Breaches

Hi I am wondering why Bitdefender Central is advising that my email address has appeared in 2 data breaches while privacy scans on my mobile say my email has not been found in any data breaches.

    There is a difference between Digital Identity Protection in Bitdefender Central and the data breach option provided in Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android.

    The Digital Identity Protection, which is a standalone feature and shows the results in Bitdefender Central, uses a different algorithm than the one used in Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android. Digital Identity Protection searches the surface, deep and dark web for leaked emails related to accounts, while the data breach option provided in Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android only scans the surface web.

    If you want to search the largest database of leaked emails on the surface, dark, and deep web, you can make use of the below-stated website, which has the largest collection of data breaches from all over the internet.
