Maybe your list will be more relevant, and you can sign up to get alerts when new breaches appear. Although some breach names make this clear (,, livejournal), our email address also appeared in breaches with generic titles such as 'breachCompilation', 'collection1' and 'malwaredumps.' The app prompted us to change our account password, but with no information on which website was the source, that's just not possible. It can also be difficult to identify which accounts have been breached. If you follow the standard advice to change your passwords occasionally (and we do, of course), this isn't going to tell you much at all.

Although our list included 19 breaches, only four were dated 2020 or later, and the most recent of those was from February 2021. The app sent a code to the email address to verify that we owned it, then displayed an alarmingly lengthy list of breaches where our address appeared. We tapped 'Account Privacy' to try it out.

That's good news, as it gets you many more VPN features (ad and tracker blocking, choice of protocols, split tunneling, more.) But if the VPN is your priority, it's a reminder that you could simply ignore Mobile Security and just install the Bitdefender VPN for Android app, instead. But if you're looking for anything even slightly more advanced, it's likely to leave you disappointed.īitdefender clearly realizes the problem, and Mobile Security for Android will soon be updated to use the regular stand-alone Bitdefender VPN app.

If you only need the core VPN essentials, this might be acceptable. As we write, you can't choose a location, switch protocols, adjust settings or reconfigure how the VPN works in any useful way. Speeds were reasonable in our tests, and connections proved stable, with no unexpected drops. Tap VPN, then Connect, and in a couple of seconds it's up and running, protecting your web traffic from snoopers.
