UK and Australia Are Now Monitoring Their Government Domains on Have I Been Pwned
If I’m honest, I’m constantly surprised by the extent of how far Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) is reaching these days. This is a little project I started whilst killing time in a hotel room in late 2013 after thinking “I wonder if people actually know where their data has been exposed?”
I built it in part to help people answer that question and in part because my inner geek wanted to build an interesting project on Microsoft’s Azure. I ran it on a coffee budget (the goal was to keep the operating costs under what a couple of cups from a cafe each day would cost) and I made it freely accessible. And then it took off.
