The availability he would need to have to "check" if your email is hacked from all the databases that he claims to check against would make his site the prime target for every email theif on the planet. His database would also be humangous and preserve a constant security threat from those same companies the databases were stolen. Yea, im sure they gave their consent into something like this. Don't be as stupid as you sound.

However, what i do know, and can prove, is that i put a bullshit made up email that came back as "breached". And no, no one else has tried that one since i would sooner win the lottery then for that to happen.
What i did then was try an email i do own that i didnt register anywhere, and it also came back as "breached" and it even lists the databases it is on, and it lists sites that i didn't visit EVER. It listed just some random sites that the guy presumes my ip uses.

So yea, it's a hoax to capture emails. But by all means, go and put all your mails in there.
good point , i have checked my e-mails on ihbp , half of them are pwned . i believe they test e-mail addresses with e-mail lookup service in background if they were previously registered with websites that known for breaches , they tell you pwned haha . probably e-mail is just registered but not all accounts were effected in those hacks ,almost all disclosed hacked websites from 2015 sent notifications to reset passwords and i did change them ,what next rainbow tables ?
