Account Intrusion Investigation — Email Addresses Found

In the course of an account intrusion investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified personally identifiable information (PII) for thousands of online account users, to include email addresses. This PII was in the possession of the subject of the investigation.

There are multiple potential ways in which this PII could have been taken. The FBI cannot attribute the exact source of all information found in the subject's possession. However, we are aware that one source was the unauthorized access by the subject of a third-party database. The investigation has identified more than 150,000 individuals whose PII was obtained from this third-party database.

Was your email address found in this data?

To learn if your email address was included in this data, you may enter it below. If your email was included in this data, you will receive a confirmation email from IC3 sent directly to the email address entered. Only that email address will receive positive responses. Negative responses will not be issued.

In the event you no longer have access to an email account, please follow the recommended steps to reset the password, in order to gain access to the email account. If the email account has been closed, we recommend you update the email address for any social media, cloud storage, etc. accounts that still use the old email address.

This data includes complete email addresses only. Inclusion of an email address in this data alone is not an indicator of intrusion into your account(s). Identified victims of account intrusion were notified directly by the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) via email and/or letter.
