Data security has been the focus of many, both in the wake of the much-publicized “Heartbleed” error but also of the intense attention that the “Se&Hør” scandal has received in the media and the general subsequent concern about data leakage. We have now released a tool where you can check if data, according to our database, has been leaked to others.
In connection with the ever-ongoing and extensive Heartbleed hole (CVE-2014-0160), Heimdal Security now releases a proprietary tool that makes it possible for all to check if their user information and passwords are available to hackers.
In this connection CTO and security expert Jan Kaastrup from CSIS Security Group says:
“In connection with the Heartbleed security weakness millions of users’ data has been leaked and it has unfortunately been alarming easy for hackers to get access to this data. We therefore found it necessary to be able to offer a service which can check if your personal data has been leaked. We have been working at full stretch to get this service ready ever since.”
The DataLEAK tool from Heimdal Security checks large amounts of data collected in connection with detection of IT crime. The only thing that is required to gain access to the service is that the user enters his e-mail address in a form. A full report/result is then sent to the recipient and this report/result gives a current-day image whether data may have been be leaked or collected by malicious hackers.
In this connection Heimdal Security and CSIS still encourage users to change the passwords they use on the Internet.
Until July 31, 2014 the tool is free for everyone to use whereafter only the company’s customers will have access to the service.
