Overview

The Compromised Email (CompEmail) APIs are a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for querying myNetWatchman’s data store of compromised email account. myNetwatchman has confirmed that all of the email boxes within our Compromised Email data set have been successfully accessed (with the correct password) by criminals.

Users with compromised email accounts are a higher risk for various types of fraud. User accounts with compromised email addresses are at risk even if the account credentials are secure.
