Email breach lookup
The Rythm Email Breach Lookup is a free utility that checks whether an email address appears in known public data breaches indexed by Have I Been Pwned (haveibeenpwned.com), the canonical breach index maintained by Troy Hunt. You enter an email address; the tool computes a SHA-1 hash of the address locally in your browser before any request, then forwards the lookup through a Cloudflare Pages function that proxies the request to Have I Been Pwned with the API key kept server-side. The proxy is configured not to log inputs, not to log outputs, and not to cache results. The response lists breaches the address appears in, with breach name, breach date, the categories of data exposed (passwords, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, security questions), and a short description from the source. A no-result response means the address is not in the public HIBP index; that is good news but not a guarantee, because newer breaches may not be indexed yet and credential-stuffing lists circulating in the wild are not always public. The right follow-up to a hit is to rotate any password used on the affected services (especially if you re-used it elsewhere), turn on multi-factor authentication, and review whether the address still belongs to you. We do not store the address you entered.
Does the tool log my email?
No. The proxy is configured not to log inputs.
Where does the data come from?
Have I Been Pwned (haveibeenpwned.com).
What does no result mean?
The address is not in the public HIBP index; not a guarantee of safety.
What should I do if I have a hit?
Rotate the password, turn on multi-factor, review your account-recovery email.
