We're two weeks in from the launch of the new HIBP, and I'm still recovering. Like literally still recovering from the cold I had last week and the consequent backlog. A major launch like this isn't just something you fire and forget; instead, it
Well, the last few weeks of insane hours finally caught up with me 🤒 Not badly, but I evidently burned enough midnight oil to leave the immune system somewhat degraded and just after recording this video, I really didn't feel like doing much at all. Some congestion and
This has been a very long time coming, but finally, after a marathon effort, the brand new Have I Been Pwned website is now live!
Feb last year is when I made the first commit to the public repo for the rebranded service, and we soft-launched the new brand in
Funny how excited people can get about something as simple as a sticker. They're always in hot demand and occupy an increasingly large portion of my luggage as we travel around. Charlotte reckoned it would be the same for other merch too, so, while I've been
Today, we welcome the 40th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned's free gov service, Malaysia. The NC4 NACSA (National Cyber Coordination and Command Centre of the National Cyber Security Agency) in Malaysia now has full access to query all their government domains via API, and monitor them
The Have I Been Pwned Alpine Grand Tour is upon us! I've often joked that work is always either sitting at my desk at home in isolation or on the other side of the world, and so it is with this trip. As we've done with
For many years, people would come to Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), run a search on their email address, get the big red "Oh no - pwned!" response and then... I'm not sure. We really didn't have much guidance until we partnered with 1Password
Today we welcome the 39th government and first self-governing British Crown Dependency to Have I Been Pwned, The Isle of Man. Their Office of Cyber-Security & Information Assurance (OCSIA) now has free and open access to query the government domains of their jurisdiction.
We're delighted and encouraged to
Let me start by very simply explaining the problem we're trying to solve with passkeys. Imagine you're logging on to a website like this:
And, because you want to protect your account from being logged into by someone else who may obtain your username and password,
Looking back at this week's video, it's the AI discussion that I think about most. More specifically, the view amongst some that any usage of it is bad and every output is "slop". I'm hearing that much more broadly lately, that AI
I love a good road trip. Always have, but particularly during COVID when international options were somewhat limited, one road trip ended up, well, "extensive". I also love the recent trips Charlotte and I have taken to spend time with many of the great agencies we've
Today, we're happy to welcome the Gambia National CSIRT to Have I Been Pwned as the 38th government to be onboarded with full and free access to their government domains. We've been offering this service for seven years now, and it enables national CSIRTs to gain
Today, I arrived at my PC first thing in the morning to find the UPS dead (battery was cactus) and the PC obviously without power. So, I tracked down a powerboard and some IEC C14 to mains cable adaptors and powered back up. On boot, neither the Bluetooth mouse nor
How do seemingly little things manage to consume so much time?! We had a suggestion this week that instead of being able to login to the new HIBP website, you should instead be able to log in. This initially confused me because I've been used to logging on
I'm a few days late this week, finally back from a month of (almost) non-stop travel with the last bit being completely devoid of an internet connection 😲 And now, the real hard work kicks in as we count down the next 25 days before launching the full
I'm home! Well, for a day, then it's off to the other side of the country (which I just flew over last night on the way back from Dublin 🤦♂️) for an event at the Microsoft Accelerator in Perth on Monday. Such is
After an unusually long day of travelling from Iceland, we've finally made it to the land of Guinness, Leprechauns, and a tax haven for tech companies. This week, there are a few more lessons from the successful phish against me the previous week, and in happier news, there
Well, this certainly isn't what I expected to be talking about this week! But I think the fact it was someone most people didn't expect to be on the receiving end of an attack like this makes it all the more consumable. I saw a lot
You know when you're really jet lagged and really tired and the cogs in your head are just moving that little bit too slow? That's me right now, and the penny has just dropped that a Mailchimp phish has grabbed my credentials, logged into my account
It's time to fly! 🇬🇧 🇮🇸 🇮🇪 That's two new flags (or if you're on Windows and can't see flag emojis, that's two new ISO codes) I'll be adding to my "places I'
