SSN monitoring
Get alerted the moment your SSN shows up in a breach, data dump or criminal marketplace, straight from your investigator on WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram.
The scale
Social Security numbers don’t expire and are hard to change. Once one leaks, it can be reused against you for years.

Your SSN unlocks your credit file, your tax return and your benefits. Paired with your name and date of birth, it’s enough for someone to apply for things as you.
Criminals use a leaked SSN to open credit cards, loans and phone contracts you never applied for. Many people only find out when a debt collector calls.
A stolen SSN can be used to file a tax return and claim your refund first, or to claim benefits and unemployment payments in your name.
Fraudsters pair a real SSN with fake details to build a new identity. US lenders faced over $3.3B in exposure to it in 2024.
Someone can use your SSN to get hired, leaving you with tax bills for wages you never earned.
Criminals use your identity to get care or prescriptions, and their records can end up mixed into yours.
With your SSN and birth date, a fraudster can talk your carrier into moving your number and intercept your sign-in codes.
Her name and birthday are easy to find. Her SSN is the missing piece. Once it leaks, a criminal has what they need to open credit, file taxes or pass identity checks as her.
Warning signs
Misuse often shows up in places you don’t check every day. If you spot any of these, act fast, even if you never got a breach notice.
Unfamiliar accounts or hard inquiries on your credit report.
Statements or collection calls for loans and cards you never took out.
The IRS says a return was already filed under your SSN.
Income from an employer you’ve never worked for on your IRS or SSA records.
Sudden loss of service can mean your number was moved to a criminal’s SIM.
Claims or prescriptions in your name on your Explanation of Benefits.
Bills and statements stop arriving, which can mean your address was changed.
A loan, lease or benefit refused because of history that isn’t yours.
What we monitor
Add your Social Security number and the details criminals pair with it. We check them against new breaches and dark web sources, and your investigator alerts you the moment one turns up.
Coverage
Leaked SSNs move through breach dumps, background-check leaks, criminal forums and identity marketplaces that search engines don’t show. Monitoring checks these sources for your number so you don’t have to.
Leaked databases from data brokers, background-check sites, insurers and employers, where full or partial SSNs are often stored.
Forums and markets where SSNs are sold on their own or bundled with name, date of birth and address as ready-to-use identity profiles.
New dumps surface all the time. Ongoing monitoring checks your SSN against each one as it appears, not just once.
How it works
Enter your email to see where it already appears in breaches and dark web sources, then add your SSN so we can keep watch on it.
Free, no credit card needed.
Add your Social Security number, plus the emails, phone numbers, IDs and cards linked to it. Up to 12 identity types in one place.
When your SSN or a linked detail turns up, your investigator messages you on WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram with what was found and where.
Each SSN alert comes with clear steps: freeze your credit, set a fraud alert, get an IRS Identity Protection PIN and report identity theft if your number has been used.
If your SSN leaks
Every SSN alert comes with a clear plan. Your investigator walks you through each step, points you to the right place and keeps track of what’s done.

Why not do it yourself
Breach notice letters arrive months late, if at all, and free lookups rarely check SSNs. Much of the stolen data sits in places you can’t safely search.
Privacy for your people
Employee SSNs sit in payroll and HR systems. When they leak, staff face fraud, and attackers use the details to impersonate them in payroll and benefits scams.
Find breach findings tied to employee SSNs and work emails, and help staff act before fraud starts.
Watch for the SSNs and personal details of executives and visible staff, the people most often impersonated.
Give each employee clear steps after an SSN leak, from credit freezes to IRS IP PINs.

Understand what SSN monitoring covers, how alerts work and what to do if your number leaks.
We watch breach databases, criminal forums, paste sites and dark web markets for your Social Security number, and alert you the moment it turns up.
Your investigator messages you on WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram, and you can also get alerts by SMS, email or in-app push. Each alert shows what was exposed, where it was seen and what to do next.
Your details are encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict access controls. We use them only to check for exposure, and we never sell your data.
Your alert shows what was exposed, where and when, with steps to follow: freeze your credit at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, set a fraud alert, get an IRS Identity Protection PIN and report misuse at IdentityTheft.gov.
Rarely. The SSA issues a new number only in limited cases, such as ongoing misuse that keeps causing harm. Freezing your credit and watching for leaks is the practical defence.
No. Credit monitoring tells you when something changes on your credit file. SSN monitoring can warn you earlier, when your number shows up on the dark web, before it’s used.
No service can prevent every attack. Monitoring gives you earlier warning, so you can freeze your credit and lock things down before your SSN is misused.
Most leaks come from breaches at companies that store SSNs, like lenders, insurers, healthcare providers, employers and background-check sites. Phishing, mail theft and data brokers are other common sources.
No. Once data is leaked and copied, no one can reliably delete it. What you can do is make it useless to criminals: freeze your credit, lock your SSN and watch for new leaks.
It’s a good idea. A freeze is free, doesn’t affect your credit score and stops most new-credit fraud. You can lift it for a while when you need to apply for credit.
