What is Snusbase and how does it work?

Snusbase indexes information from websites that have been hacked and had their database leaked. We allow our users to search for emails, names and usernames, ip address, phones, hashes or even passwords so they can find out if their information has been leaked.



After a search we display all available information from the hacked site. If a database has a users full name, email, password, rank, address, etc. we make all that information available to the user so they can update their information and keep it out of the hands of hackers and cyber criminals.

How do you aquire this hacked data?

In exchange for time on the site security researchers often give us access to these hacked databases and that way we're allowed access to some of the most private databases on the market while remaining neutral and most importantly legal. We do sometimes however depending on the severity or when both parties agree for a exclusivity period, offer cash rewards in exchange for databases.

Is this legal?

Once a site has been hacked and the database is in the hands of a number of individuals not related to the hack it is considered public information. As researchers we are allowed to distribute and allow users to search for their information, according to a number of supreme court rulings. We recommend you check the laws in your jurisdiction, but as a rule-of-thumb this site is legal in most western countries including the United States.
