An app that tells Windows 10 desktop and mobile users if they were hacked

This app is designed to alert Windows 10 users if there is a security breach.

In an era where hackers can easily gain access to your PC or mobile phone, Microsoft seems to have got you covered. A tiny little app called 'Hacked' can alert you immediately if someone enters from the backdoor. The app is available for Windows 10 PC and phone users and is designed to alert you if there is a security breach.

The app functions on haveibeenpwned API to check your account on any Windows 10 device and features a built-in monitoring system which performs regular checks every 12 hours on your account. It also runs in the background and sends you notifications in case you forget to check at yourself. The app performs routine checks every 12 hours.

On installation of the app it prompts you to set up your accounts that need to be checked for security measures. The app is fully secured since it connects only to API which uses HTTPS protocol.

Though this app is the first version only, it is in an early stage with plenty of room for improvement.

If you are interested in downloading the app, here is the link. Make sure this app is only compatible for Windows 10.
