Where it is doneYour DNS settings- In the Microsoft Defender portal, go to Email & collaboration, then Policies & rules, then Threat policies, then Email authentication settings. Open the DKIM tab and check that signing is on for harbourview-llp.example. If it is not, publish the two CNAME records it shows at your DNS host and turn signing on.
- Your SPF record lists one service that sends mail for harbourview-llp.example (Microsoft 365), so start at p=quarantine. Publish this record at _dmarc.harbourview-llp.example: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]
- The reports go to the LeakTrace report desk at [email protected]. You can put a mailbox of your own in its place.
- Sign in to the company that runs the DNS for harbourview-llp.example. It is the one whose name servers your domain uses, which is not always where you bought the domain.
- Open the DNS records for harbourview-llp.example. The screen is usually called DNS, DNS records or Zone editor.
- Add a new record and choose the type TXT.
- Type _dmarc as the name. If the screen does not add your domain itself, type _dmarc.harbourview-llp.example.
- Paste the record above as the value, exactly as copied.
- Save the record.
- Read the reports for about two weeks. When no mail your firm really sends is landing in spam, change p=quarantine to p=reject in the same record.
- The general steps for any DNS host are at getleaktrace.com/fix/.

Matched to you
Matched on the way in the source reported. It does not mean your firm was affected.
Seen from outside
This is the view an attacker's AI tools assemble first. We read it first.
Would mail in your name be refused?
For each kind of service your DNS shows, what a receiving mail server does with mail that claims to come from you, read from your own SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
How payment-change and invoice fraud use this view
Payment-change and invoice fraud does not need to break into anything. It relies on a client, or someone in your own office, trusting an email at the moment money is about to move and acting on a request to pay into different bank details.
The view above is what makes that email believable. Your DNS tells anyone which services send mail for you, so they know which notices your clients expect to see. Whether that email is refused depends on your own records: without enforced DMARC, mail that only claims to be from your domain is still delivered.
It succeeds when three things line up: mail can pass as yours, nobody has a rule for checking a change of bank details and a mailbox can be opened with a password alone. Each of the four controls below removes one of them.
- Enforced email authentication. DMARC at p=quarantine, then p=reject, with every service that sends for you signing with a DKIM key published under your domain. Mail that fails is then refused, not delivered.
- A written rule for bank-detail changes. Any change to bank or payment details is confirmed by phone on a number you already hold, never a number given in the message that asked for the change.
- A notice to clients. "We never change bank details by email." On invoices, engagement letters and your email footer, so a client knows to call before paying anywhere new.
- Multi-factor sign-in on every mailbox. So a password found in breach data, or guessed, does not open the mailbox a fraudulent request would be sent from or answered in.

Suppliers we watch
Name up to ten suppliers or clients you pay or are paid by. Every hour we look for newly registered look-alike domains made from their names, the same way we look for ones made from yours and email you the day we find one, those set up for email first. A domain like this is how a forged "our bank details have changed" email can arrive.
A look-alike of a supplier's domain is not a finding on your firm. It does not change your rating or your count of ways in.
Suggested from your own mail records
Your reading of 30 October 2026 names no supplier we can suggest from your mail records. Name any supplier you pay in the form below.
Inside, confirmed by your team
Our reading is from outside. What only your own people can see, they check themselves: each person on your list gets a short email on your schedule with a few things to look at in their own email account and records what they found here with the date. You get an email at once if anyone finds something or could not do a check.
These are your team's own confirmations, each with its date. We do not go inside your email or systems, so we have not checked them. They are not findings and they do not change your count of ways in or your rating.
How often
The inside checklist is not on. Choose how often, add the people to include and save.
We could not tell your mail system from outside, so each step is worded in general terms.

Your assessment reads your domain and your website. The internet connection at your office is another address and only you can tell us which one it is.
Press the button while you are connected at the office. We show you the address first and nothing is added until you confirm.

Counts start with your first daily check.
Your dashboard lists what each AI agent did for your firm, newest first. Every line carries its date and the stage that did it and a closed finding carries the evidence of the re-check. When a check finds a change, the Monitor AI agent puts first the one that needs you, with a plain reason when it has one. The change and its severity come from the fixed check. Your AI security agent is on your assessment page. Ask it about any finding, have it draft a note about one, or approve a re-check. Our AI agents operate externally. They never log in, never install anything and never touch your internal systems. The one change they can make, to your email records, happens only when you approve it. Open your assessment page.
