Check if your email address is on the hacked list of Ashley Madison emails

knowemlogoWe came across an interesting service being provided by social media metrics monitoring agency Knowem called Username Search. What does it do?

Almost everyone is aware of the dumping of user data including email addresses by hackers who broke into the user accounts of Ashley Madison. What Username Search has done is made the hacked list of emails publicly searchable; just enter your email address to do a live search of the database.

If a search returns a successful match, that means your email address is in the list – but it doesn’t mean you had anything to do with Ashley Madison. It simply means your email address was in the database released by the hackers claiming this to be the Ashley Madison database.
