Why so many accounts are hacked so easily every day and even by people that aren't very skilled hackers?
Often many widely used services are attacked by hackers that stole their whole databases, the leaked data may include sensitive data and password that could be shared in P2P networks or darkmarkets of the deepweb where even people without great computer skills can buy them.
Compromised data are a big risk for the data of users.
The purpose of this App is to check if your account is associated with known data leaks and monitor it if new breaches are discovered, allowing you to take appropriate actions to protect your data with specific suggestions generated by the App according the detected problems.
In addition the App has a section where you can read news about hacking, cyber attacks and stolen data.
The App is very small and extremely useful to prevent confidential data theft. If you think that is useless just think that many celebrities could have seen that their Snapchat's passwords have been compromised before their very private photos stolen and shared in the web, and They could have avoided that, simply fixing their accounts.
DISCLAIMER
In case the explanation isn't clear enough. The app doesn't directly scan you email as an antivirus, the app search if some account where you have used the email to check has been compromised.
e.g.
Consider you have an email "somefancymail@gmail.com" used it to create an account on some website "SomeWebsite", a day some hacker hacks this website that unfortunately for you includes also your data, the app searching in the known leaked archives gives you insights about the breach (which, if ignored, can lead to very serious consequences) and instruction to allow you to adopt the proper procedures to minimize damages.
