Copyright and DMCA Policy

Original summaries

Breached writes original summaries and links to source materials instead of republishing full copyrighted reports. Short quotations are limited, attributed, and used only when needed to explain the public breach record.

Takedown requests

• A copyright owner may send a written notice identifying the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing Breached URL, contact information, and a good-faith statement.
• Breached maintains a public copyright contact and, if eligible for DMCA safe-harbor treatment, a designated agent listing.
• Breached may remove, disable, edit, or preserve content while evaluating the request.

Counter-notices and disputes

If content is removed based on a copyright complaint, Breached may accept counter-notices or supporting evidence where legally appropriate.

No stolen datasets

Breached does not host credential dumps, stolen databases, victim lists, or raw exfiltrated files. The service describes public breach facts without distributing the compromised data.
