Hello @Kupo, You’re most welcome☺ ! From the Kaspersky software side, it's a reporting tool, the free version is not configurable. From memory, Kaspersky were going to include an option to exclude "known/reported" email addresses that were showing up as false positives; not sure what progress has been made, or if, in the future, it's implemented, whether or not that feature would only be available for paying subscribers - time will tell. HaveIbeenpawned/FAQ has good information about data breaches & pastes - follow their guidance. Protect all online accounts with strong, unique passwords for each website. Use a reputable password manager. Enable 2 factor authentication wherever possible. Most government agencies publish consumer, data breach guidance, e.g. ICO Personal data breaches, OAIC, Privacy, Data breaches, FTC Privacy, Identity & Online Security Just as FYI, we have an email address that was breached once, 12 years ago, since rectified, Kaspersky still reports it; it happens. Thank you🙏 Flood🐳 +🐋 Thanks for the tips, Flood! ☺ The FYI example was a good one on real world scenario.

Can’t really recall since the the information is blocked out as shown in attachment. Just puzzled that this notification would come up now and whether further action needs to be taken.

Thanks for the clear explanation. What should anyone using the free version do when they receive such notifications? Since it’s not exactly false. I did a quick online search with my login id and found no obvious impersonation or malicious use yet. Let me know if I should ask somewhere else. (would be nice if you can point out one or two useful links).

Recently received notification that my data might have been leaked from 2 websites. The detection date was shown as 2015 (refer to attached png picture). However, I only started using Kaspersky Security Cloud Free within a year or less. Is this a false alert? I’m using the latest Windows 10 version.
