Data Deletion
The Shift in Thinking
You can't rewrite the past. But you can control what happens next.
Since data deletion is impossible, the goal isn't erasing history; it’s knowing what’s exposed and preventing criminals from exploiting it.
The Statistics That Prove This
95% of breaches involve credentials stolen from previous breaches (Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report)
Most people hacked today are targeted with passwords from years-old breaches.
Victims who learn about breaches within 72 hours can prevent 60% of follow-on attacks (IBM Security Report)
Speed of awareness = your ability to protect yourself. Change passwords, enable 2FA, freeze credit, monitor accounts. You’re no longer a passive victim—you’re armed.
A Practical Example
Imagine your address gets stolen. You can’t erase it from criminals’ lists. But if you know it’s exposed, you can:
- Install security cameras
- Change your locks
- Monitor your mail for identity theft
- Alert the Police
- Hire security personnel
- Report suspicious activity immediately
Smash Guardian can alert you BEFORE criminals act.
What We Can Actually Do
We can’t delete leaked data from the dark web—but we can:
- Tell you exactly what’s exposed (which emails, which passwords, which breaches)
- Show you where it’s exposed (which dark web sites, which databases)
- Guide you on how to neutralize it (change passwords, enable 2FA, freeze credit)
- Monitor for future leaks so you’re never blindsided again
You can’t rewrite history, but you can control what happens next. That’s our job.
