DoxxScan is the engine that looks you up first.
It is the software behind every scan on this site — what runs when you type in an email address, a username, a phone number or a name.
It starts from that one detail, follows it the way an automated look-up does, and shows you what it reaches.
The scan is free, takes about fifteen seconds and needs no account.
Why this stopped being somebody else’s problem
Following a trail like this used to take a person an afternoon, which meant somebody had to decide you were worth an afternoon. Almost nobody is. For most people that was the only thing standing between them and a stranger with their address, and most of them never knew it. That is the part that stopped being true.
A reporter asked a chatbot for a professor’s home address. It said no, then offered a different route and produced the address, what he paid for the house, and his wife’s name.
Those details came off published property records.
Nothing was stolen and nothing was broken into — they were sitting there, and something went and read them.
An AI agent can build a complete profile of one person for about 59 cents. It takes about thirty seconds. That is a measured research result rather than a price list, and it is the whole point: at that price nobody has to think you are interesting first.
Two different things get called “AI knows about you”, and only one of them is ours. A machine can look up what is published about you — the listings, the records, the leaked files. Taking those down leaves less of you to find, and that is the work we do. A machine can also guess things you never published, from the way you write. Nothing we remove changes that, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Here is the research behind both, with every figure linked to where it came from.
What the walk actually looks like
Four steps, starting from one ordinary email address. Not one of them involves breaking into anything — every step is a record somebody has already published:
sarah.w@email.com
You handed this out. A shop, a newsletter, a game you signed up for once. It was never secret, and it was never meant to be.
(555) 0134
A company that held both of them lost them together. The email and the phone number are a matched pair now, in public, permanently.
4102 Alder Row
A different leak, from a different company, years earlier, had that same phone number sitting next to an address.
Two more names
Everyone else listed at that address. For most people that is the answer to a security question they were told to keep private.
Nobody broke into anything. Every step above is a record that was already public, and the only reason they join up is that the same email address appears on more than one of them. Your email is not secret. It is unique. That is what makes it work as a key — and it is why “nobody knows mine” is not the protection it sounds like.
The details above are invented. The mechanism is not. Run the same walk on your own email address — free, about fifteen seconds, no account and no card.
What it reads, and what it cannot
What it searches
- Leaked records from breaches that have already happened and been made public — about 13.1B+ of them, across 968 known breaches.
- Most of that was assembled and published by Have I Been Pwned. We did not gather it, and it counts records, not people.
- An email, a username, a phone number, a name. Any one of them is somewhere to start.
What it does not do
- It cannot pull a leaked record back. Once a file is out it is copied, traded and archived, and nobody on earth can undo that. What can still change is what is listed about you now.
- It does nothing about what a machine guesses. Taking down a listing removes something published; it does not touch a system working things out from how you write.
- It never tests a password against anything, and never shows you or stores one.
- It does not read public records, news articles or social media. Nobody can file those away, so we do not claim to.
- A scan is not a removal. Finding a listing and taking it down are different jobs, and the second one starts when you ask for it.
- Being in a leak does not mean an account of yours was broken into. It usually means a company you trusted lost your data.
What happens once it finds something
Three things you can do about it, and the name at the top of this page does not come up in any of them.
A scan
free
See what is already published about you. About fifteen seconds. No account, no card.
The full report
$9.99 once
Offered on your own results page once a scan has found something.
The scan tells you a phone number of yours is out there; the report shows you the number, every leaked value we can tie to you, and which one to change first.
It is a report, not a removal — it does not file anything for you.
Protection
$14.99/mo
This is the filing, and here is the whole of it. We become your authorized agent in writing, under California Civil Code §1798.135(c) and the equivalent laws in other states. We then send removal requests to the companies that list you: 632 sites, run by 580 companies. Some companies run several sites, so one letter can clear more than one — and where a company had registered twice, we write once instead of twice. Protection sends up to 100 removal requests a month for you. At least 23 go out in the first 14 days — most of what we can send in that time — or you get your money back. Most listings come down. Some are slow and a few companies refuse — we decide whether the request goes out, never whether they obey it, and we show you which ones did not. When a listing comes back, and it will, we file again.
Filing again is the job, not an admission that the first one failed.
California built its own deletion system on the assumption that removal is a standing job, not a one-off: from August 2026 every registered broker must check the state platform at least once every 45 days.
If you would rather not see a monthly line on your statement, the same plan is $129/yr.
Two things share the name
Worth being plain about which is which.
The engine on this page scans a person.
The DoxxScan™ Rating, published on our sister site RecentBreaches, scores a company — an estimate of how exposed its customers may be if the incidents on its public record are accurate.
A Rating is not a finding that any company was breached, and it says nothing about you.
