At this point practically everything about me's available either for free or a few dollars. The only interesting thing left is whether a given password has been compromised. The answer to everything else is "yes, it's been leaked". Been that way for most of a decade at this point, guessing it's the same for most other folks with any modern digital or banking presence whatsoever.



I'm sure there are search engines for it too but I noticed that credit karma can tell you which of your passwords have been associated with your email addresses in data breaches.

Credit Karma is free but the CEO appears to be transparent in how they make money (recommending financial products to you based on what they see in your credit profile).


I am a very suspicious and wary internet user, hardly sign up for any services, but been using Credit Karma for my taxes and light financial monitoring for the last 3 years. Tax Filing was totally free and I got the tax refunds I was expecting. No issues with them whatsoever. I have never gotten any email or other spam as a result of using their service. I am a happy customer, though technically speaking I have never actually given them any money directly.


I agree. At first I got a few emails over a long period of time recommending financial products (credit cards, savings accounts, etc) but I unsubscribed and haven't seen any of those since. The only emails I get now are when something changes on my credit profile (new account, closed account, etc).
