Spybot Identity Monitor is a free tool developed by Safer-Networking to help you determine if your personal information has been compromised in data breaches.
Key Features:

What to Do if Your Data Is Compromised:
If Spybot Identity Monitor indicates that your information has been exposed:
- Change Your Password: Immediately update your password on the affected service.

- Use a Password Manager: Consider using a password manager to securely store and generate unique passwords for each service.

By regularly using Spybot Identity Monitor, you can stay informed about the security of your personal information and take proactive steps to protect your online identity.
