Staminus Data Breach (2016)

In March 2016, the DDoS protection service Staminus was "massively hacked" resulting in an outage of more than 20 hours and the disclosure of customer credentials (with unsalted MD5 hashes), support tickets, credit card numbers and other sensitive data. 27k unique email addresses were found in the data which was subsequently released to the public. Staminus is no longer in operation.

Why this isn’t just another breach checker

A breach leaks your credentials. Then hackers chain those credentials to your address, family, phone, and employer using public broker sites. We’re the only tool built around that chain.

Free checker Tells you the breach happened. End of story. You’re still on 800+ broker sites.
$129+/yr Broker-removal services scrub the address but don’t see the breach — next leak re-exposes you.
GalaxyWarden Maps the chain. Cleans both halves. $19 one-shot. Closed loop.
