FAQ: infostealer detection and credential leaks
Find the most common questions about stealer detection, dark web monitoring and how to use Stealed.
What is Stealed?
Stealed is a real-time credential leak detection platform. We monitor infostealer logs, combo-lists, underground forums and private cybercriminal discussion channels to alert you as soon as your data is exposed.
What is an infostealer?
An infostealer is a silent malware designed to exfiltrate sensitive data: credentials saved in browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), session cookies, browsing history, machine files, and even clipboard content. This data is then sold on cybercriminal marketplaces.
What's the difference with HaveIBeenPwned?
HaveIBeenPwned focuses on public database breaches. Stealed goes further by monitoring infostealer logs and private cybercriminal channels — sources invisible to traditional services. We detect leaks before they become public.
How does Stealed work?

My credentials were detected. What should I do?
1) Immediately change the password for the affected account. 2) Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 3) Check recent activity on your account. 4) If the same password is used elsewhere, change it too. 5) Monitor your bank accounts if financial data is involved.
