FAQ

Reading the index responsibly

What does Confirmed mean?

A company, regulator, or documented official decision supports the incident. It does not mean the final scope can never change.

What is the difference between Claimed and Investigating?

A claim is an attacker or public allegation without independent confirmation. Investigating means a company, regulator, or credible report has identified an active matter whose facts are still being established.

How can I check whether I am affected?

Use the company’s official notice, app, or support channel. Do not enter credentials on a link sent in an unsolicited message.

Can I ask for a correction?

Yes. Send an official or public source through the correction form. Material changes are recorded in the incident timeline.
