Episode notes
Check Public People-Search Databases
- Check people-search sites and deletion services to find where your phone number appears publicly.
- Treat those results as public-facing evidence rather than proof of the original breach source.
Phone Numbers Lack Clear Breach Provenance
- Services like DeleteMe show where a number appears but often don't show the original breach source.
- That makes phone-number provenance harder to trace than email breaches shown by Have I Been Pwned.
Build A Breach-Source Phone Lookup
- If you can build a Have I Been Pwned-style phone lookup, it would be valuable.
- Prioritize breach-source mapping so users can see where their number originated from.
