Automated Data Breach Alert System with HaveIBeenPwned API

This n8n workflow automates the proactive monitoring of company email addresses for data breaches using the HaveIBeenPwned (HIBP) API. Scheduled to run at configurable intervals, it systematically checks a predefined list of employee or corporate emails to identify if any have been compromised in known data breaches. When a breached email is detected, the workflow automatically sends a high-priority alert to a designated Slack channel, enabling security or IT teams to respond swiftly and mitigate potential risks. The process includes setting up API credentials, configuring the schedule, customizing the list of emails, and ensuring the alerting mechanism is correctly wired. This automation is critical for organizations aiming to enhance their cybersecurity posture without constant manual oversight, reducing the risk of credential stuffing attacks and safeguarding sensitive data.
