find-leaks-in-the-wild

Find leaked or mentioned selectors circulating in pastes, leak forums, Telegram channels and dump markets, and judge whether a claimed leak is genuine or a recycled combolist. Covers paste aggregators, site: searches over paste hosts, channel indexes and leak-search services. Use when checking whether a name, email, domain or credential is circulating, verifying a breach claim made against your organisation, or setting up ongoing leak monitoring. Applies to incident response and breach triage, threat intelligence, brand and executive protection, and extortion-claim validation. Reference at useosint.com/skills/find-leaks-in-the-wild.

# Find leaks in the wild

This is where data surfaces before anything indexes it, and where most of what
you find is a recombination of things that leaked years ago. Two mistakes cost
people most: assuming a paste host's own search will find pastes, and reporting
a combolist as a breach. The first wastes a day; the second is a factual error
in a deliverable and it will be found.

## Where to start with what you're holding

| You have | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| An email or username | A curated breach service first | Cheap, attributed, and answers most questions — `what-leaked-about-you` |
| A selector you think is circulating now | `site:` sweep of paste hosts, then a paste aggregator | Engines are shallow but free; aggregators reach what was never crawled |
