Tech-support scam — do not call
Clone of DeHashed selling stolen credential searches, registered May 2025 and pushed via blog comment spam. Microsoft, Apple, and your ISP never call or pop up to ask for remote access or payment. Don't call any numbers shown, don't install "support" tools, and close the page — ideally by ending the browser process.
Is breachdatabase.net legit or a scam?
Clone of DeHashed selling stolen credential searches, registered May 2025 and pushed via blog comment spam.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Visual analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The site visually presents as a repository for stolen data and leaked credentials, which is a high-risk category often associated with cybercrime and credential harvesting.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsSite claims to provide access to billions of leaked credentials and compromised data
Promotes a database of sensitive personal information including emails, phones, and IPs
Uses a high-contrast 'hacker' aesthetic with neon green on black common in data-leak forums
Encourages users to search for private data which is a common tactic for credential harvesting or phishing
The site name 'BreachDB' and domain 'BreachDatabase.net' suggest involvement in the distribution of stolen data
Intelligence
The site presents itself as a breach search engine offering 28.5 billion records and charges for access. Our sandbox and antivirus network returned clean results, yet the page content and visual analysis both flag it as a data-harvesting operation. The domain was registered only 1.1 years ago through Cloudflare with no business registration found anywhere. Evidence shows the site copies DeHashed's search syntax and feature list while being advertised through automated spam on unrelated sites. One Reddit thread and five complaints link similar breach-notification services to recovery or phishing attempts. These concrete signals outweigh the clean engine count and produce a high scam likelihood.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for breachdatabase.net, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- The domain is heavily promoted through automated comment spam on various blogs and forums (e.g., aquaairwetdry.com, aoralife.com, ijctjournal.org).
- Spam messages claim the service offers '33 billion compromised credentials' and 'verified clean data downloads' for a $2 fee.
- The site's 'Search Syntax' and 'Key Features' sections appear to be copied from legitimate cybersecurity platforms like DeHashed.
- Security researchers on Reddit have flagged similar 'data breach' notification emails as phishing or recovery scams.
- The domain was registered in May 2025, making it very new despite claims of having a massive historical database.
- Reddit (r/Scams)open
"New users beware: Because you posted here, you will start getting private messages from scammers... we call these RECOVERY SCAMMERS."
The site uses marketing language, search syntax, and feature lists (33 billion records, $2 access) nearly identical to known data breach search engines like DeHashed and LeakCheck, but is promoted via comment spam.
Our research found one Reddit post in r/Scams discussing recovery scammers who target people after data breaches. Five complaints reference similar breach-notification services. The domain is promoted through comment spam on unrelated sites claiming 33 billion compromised credentials for a $2 fee. No positive reviews or legitimate business registrations were located.

What to do
Tech-support scam — do not call
Pages like this impersonate Microsoft, Apple, or your ISP to trick you into calling a number or granting remote access.
- Do not interact with breachdatabase.net
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Do not call the number and do not install any "support" tool
Microsoft, Apple, Google, and legitimate ISPs never show a pop-up with a phone number. Installing AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or "Windows Support" at their request hands over your computer.
- Close the page — end the browser process if needed
If the page has locked your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Esc (Mac) and end the browser task. Reopen your browser with "Don't restore tabs".
- OpenIf you already gave remote access or paid
Disconnect the device from the internet. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes or a reputable AV. Change your passwords from a different device. Call your bank to dispute any payment and request a new card.
Final Verdict
BreachDatabase.net claims to sell access to billions of leaked credentials. The domain is only 1.1 years old, clones DeHashed's layout and marketing copy, and is promoted through comment spam on unrelated blogs.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- breachdatabase.net is a dangerous tech support scam — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for data harvester and clone site. The domain is 1.1 years old through Cloudflare, Inc.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — breachdatabase.net scored just 25/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on breachdatabase.net, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on breachdatabase.net and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- If you called a number or installed remote-access software from breachdatabase.net, treat your device as compromised. Tech-support scams use fake virus warnings to get you to grant remote access, then "find" problems and charge to fix them — sometimes installing real malware or stealing files. Disconnect from the internet, uninstall any remote-access tool they had you add (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, etc.), run a full antivirus scan, change important passwords from a different device, and contact your bank if you paid.
- You can report breachdatabase.net through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report breachdatabase.net as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — breachdatabase.net is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- breachdatabase.net is 1.1 years old, registered on May 26, 2025 through Cloudflare, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
- breachdatabase.net resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- Independent trust-rating sites currently show ScamAdviser (66/100) for breachdatabase.net. Those scores mix user reviews with their own automated heuristics, so they're useful to compare against our verdict — but treat any single source, including review sites that can be gamed with fake reviews, as one data point rather than the final word.
