Many of the organizations providing breach intelligence cater to businesses, Thomas explains. PwnedList, SecurityScorecard, Shodan, and Metasploit are all examples of innovation intended to protect the enterprise from cyberattacks. Most people don't have access to the same insight.

"A lot of consumers were left in the duct or didn't have any services geared toward them," he says. "I wanted to focus on helping consumers make use of threat intelligence businesses have had access to for a long time. It's really about awareness."

HackNotice's breach database is updated daily with newly discovered incidents. Data is pulled from several sources: state government disclosure sites, privacy rights website, news media. Hacks are reviewed and verified manually before they're added to the database, which contains both new cyberattacks and new information on earlier attacks, he adds.

"We are starting with Chrome, but we are absolutely open to other browsers," says Thomas of plans for the future. "We've already planned out how to release the extension for Firefox, so assuming there is a demand that would be our next browser."

Does not seem to be a lot of people in a hurry to install it.

It will install easy on my Vivaldi Browser but of course am more interested in some feedback first before throwing on another extension.
