Question 1

What is omniac?

Accepted Answer

Omniac is a service that continuously checks the security of your data around the clock. After you decide which personal data you want to have checked, omniac searches the internet, deep web, and darknet for data leaks. As soon as your data or related data such as passwords are found in a leak, you'll receive an instant alert with recommended actions to improve your data security. This way, you can effectively prevent damage such as identity theft.

Question 2

What does omniac do?

Accepted Answer

Omniac continuously monitors the security of your personal data - for over 35 types of data. It alerts you if your data appears on the dark web or in public databases, as well as if you've been infected with Infostealer malware. Along with these alerts, you'll also receive  recommendations to help you restore the security of your compromised data. With your personalized security status, omniac gives you an instant overview of your data's security.

Question 3

How does omniac find leaked data?

Accepted Answer

Did you know that there are websites, forums, and communities on the dark web specifically designed for trading stolen data? But that's not all - criminals also buy and sell stolen data anonymously on these platforms. In some cases, they even hold private sales or auctions for high-value data. We don't just search the internet for signs of data breaches - we also scour the deep web, darknet, and encrypted messaging platforms to see if your data has been compromised.

Question 4

How is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

We store your monitored data in a secure way, using encryption, hashing, or masking, to continuously check if your data has been compromised. When we hash data, we use an algorithm to transform it into a value that can't be reversed or decrypted. When we mask data, we replace certain characters with asterisks (*). During the checking process, we need to temporarily decrypt the data for technical reasons, but this is done in a secure environment.

Question 5

What period of time is covered by the monitoring service?

Accepted Answer

When you first enter your data, our initial scan checks for breaches going back over 10 years. This means you may receive alerts about older breaches, especially in the beginning. But don't worry, our continuous monitoring will also alert you as soon as your data is found in new data leaks, so you can stay on top of your online security.

Question 6

What are the benefits of omniac?

Accepted Answer

Omniac is for anyone who is active on the Internet and uses digital services. No matter how careful you are, there's always a risk that criminals could gain access to your data and misuse it for illicit purposes. This can lead to financial loss, damage to your reputation, and even identity theft. With omniac, you'll discover who has your data and what you can do about it.

Question 7

Which data do I need to enter?

Accepted Answer

It's up to you to decide how much data you want to add to your profile for verification. You can add more than 35 different types of data. The more data you add, the more comprehensive your understanding of your digital security will be, and the better equipped you'll be to take action in case of a breach. However, we recommend that you at least enter your name, email address, mobile phone number, and address, as these are among the most commonly exposed data. We handle your data with the highest level of security. For more information on this, please see our Data Storage policy.

Question 8

What does the security status mean?

Accepted Answer

The Security Status provides an assessment of the safety of your stored data. Based on the severity and duration of any detected vulnerabilities, as well as the sensitivity of the exposed data, we assign a corresponding security status to your data. This status ranges from "Very High Risk" to "All Good".

Question 9

My security status is not calculated and is grey, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

We can only calculate your security status if you've added monitoring data to your profile. If your security score is grey, please add personal monitoring data to your profile to get started.

Question 10

I have received an alert. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

Under "Actions" and with each alert you receive recommendations on how you can react to a breach. It's essential to act quickly to minimize the risk of further data leaks and prevent potential damage.
