More than 3 years ago now, Scott Helme [https://scotthelme.co.uk/] and I launched a little project called Why No HTTPS? [https://www.troyhunt.com/why-no-https-heres-the-worlds-largest-websites-not-redirecting-insecure-requests/] It listed the world's largest websites that didn't properly redirect insecure requests to secure ones. We updated it December before last [https://www.troyhunt.com/still-why-no-https/] and pleasingly, noted that more websites than ever were doing the right thing and for...

Today I'm very happy to welcome the national Turkish CERT to Have I Been Pwned, TR-CERT or USOM, the National Cyber ​​Incident Response Center. They are now the 26th government to have complete and free API level access to query their government domains. Providing governments with greater visibility into the impact of data breaches on their staff helps protect against all manner of online attacks. I'm looking forward to welcoming more national governments onto HIBP in the future....

I'm back in the office this week and back to decent audio and video quality. There's loads of bits and pieces happening as evidence by almost an entire hour disappearing in this week's vid, ranging from problems with tradies (tradespeople), more lockdown, stats on some projects and then this week's blog post, 3D printing with my 9-year old daughter Elle. Enjoy 😊 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast/id1176454699] [https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.Pl...

The greatest gift I can give my kids is a love of technology. I mean after all the usual Maslow's hierarchy of needs stuff [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs], of course, the thing that I (and many of my readers) can instil in our kids is a deep passion for this life-altering and possibly career-defining thing that increasingly defines our everyday being. And without doubt, the best educational technology thing I've ever brought home is my Prusa 3D printer. Here's where...

The plan this week was to do a super simple update whilst having some time out. In the back yard, sun shining, iPad, Air Pods, all good. Mostly all good - the sound quality on those Air Pods is absolute rubbish. I don't if that's a general truism or there's just something amiss with mine, but the constant fading out is extremely frustrating and I apologise for the sound quality not being up to expectations. Next week I'll be back in my office, I hope this week's video is still watchable and you...

This week, by popular demand, it's Charlotte! Oh - and Scott. People had been asking for Charlotte for a while, so we finally decided to do a weekly update together on how she's been transitioning from Mac to PC. Plus, she has to put up with all my IoT shenanigans so that made for some fun conversation, along with how our respective homelands are dealing with the current pandemic (less fun, but very important). There's been a bunch of requests for us to do more of this so stay tuned and maybe we...

When the Ashley Madison data breach occurred in 2015, it made headline news around the world. Not just infosec headlines or tech headlines, but the headlines of major consumer media the likes my mum and dad would read. What was deemed especially newsworthy was the presence of email addresses in the breach which really shouldn't have been there; let me list off some headlines to illustrate the point: 1. Ashley Madison Hack: 10,000 Gov’t Officials’ Email Addresses on Leaked Ashley Madison Li...

Next week first: based on popular demand, at 18:00 on our end Friday 23 (that's 09:00 in London and terrible o'clock everywhere in the US), Charlotte is going to join me to talk about her transition from Mac to PC. Scott Helme will also be here (as in Zoom "here") so it'll be a bit of fun and inevitably go way off topic, but I thought it would be fun to fix it up a bit 🙂 This week is more of the usual with Chrome's push to HTTPS, another gov on HIBP and more travels in IoT land. [https://itune...

I've spent more time IoT'ing my house over the last year than any sane person ever should. But hey, it's been strange times for all of us and it's kept me entertained whilst no longer travelling. Plus, it's definitely added to our lives in terms of the things it enables us to do; see them in part 5 of my IoT unravelled blog series [https://www.troyhunt.com/iot-unravelled-part-5-practical-use-case-videos/]. But it also remains a complete mess and I want to demonstrate why based on some recent exp...

Marking the 25th national CERT to have full and free API level access to in HIBP, I'm very happy to welcome CERT-IL in the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) on board. They join many other governments around the world in having access to data impacting their departments amongst the more than 11 billion records already in HIBP, and inevitably the billions yet to come. I'm really encouraged to see the amount of enthusiasm expressed by national government defenders to gain access to breach d...
