Welcoming the Jamaican Government to Have I Been Pwned

Recently, I've been providing a lot of additional government access to Have I Been Pwned. Today I'm happy to welcome the Jamaica Cyber Incident Response Team (JaCIRT), the 22nd national CERT on HIBP and 11th in the last 4 months. They now have full and free API level access to query all government domains belonging to the Caribbean nation. I'm encouraged by the enthusiasm I'm seeing from governments to use breach data in positive ways that help protect their departments and I look forward to we...

Nameless Malware Discovered by NordLocker is Now in Have I Been Pwned

I've had a couple of cases to date where email addresses compromised by malware then discovered in the course of investigations have been provided to Have I Been Pwned (HIBP). Firstly by the Estonian Central Criminal Police a few years ago [https://www.troyhunt.com/data-provided-by-the-estonian-central-criminal-police-is-now-searchable-on-have-i-been-pwned/] , then by the FBI and global counterparts this April [https://www.troyhunt.com/data-from-the-emotet-malware-is-now-searchable-in-have-i-bee...

Expanding the Have I Been Pwned Volunteer Community

Ever notice how there was a massive gap of almost 9 months between announcing the intention to start open sourcing Have I Been Pwned [https://www.troyhunt.com/im-open-sourcing-the-have-i-been-pwned-code-base/] (HIBP) in August last year and then finally a couple of weeks ago, actually taking the first step with Pwned Passwords [https://www.troyhunt.com/pwned-passwords-open-source-in-the-dot-net-foundation-and-working-with-the-fbi/] ? Many people certainly noticed the time because I kept getting...

Welcoming the Uruguayan Government to Have I Been Pwned

This week as part of the ongoing initiative to make breach data available to national governments, I'm very happy to welcome the national CERT of Uruguay, CERTuy. They are now the 2nd Latin American country and 20th country worldwide to have free and easy API level access to all their government domains. I'm going to continue onboarding governments as they reach out and ask for access, my hope being that greater visibility to the impact of data breaches helps minimise the disruption they cause...

Welcoming the Belgian Government to Have I Been Pwned

Supporting national CERTs with free API domain searches across their assets is becoming an increasing focus for Have I Been Pwned and today I'm happy to welcome the 19th government on board, Belgium. As of now, the Centre for Cyber Security Belgium (CCB) has full access to query all their gov domains and gain deeper visibility into the impact of data breaches on their departments. Extending HIBP's reach to more governments around the world helps amplify the usefulness of the project and I look...

Welcoming the Dominican Republic Government to Have I Been Pwned

Continuing with the launch of the Have I Been Pwned Domain Search API to national government cyber agencies, I am very happy to welcome the first Latin American country on board, the Dominican Republic. Their National Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (CSIRT-RD) is the 18th national CERT that has free and open access to domain inquiries across all of its government assets. Each of these announcements results in a large number of additional government requests. I will continue to welcome new...

Pwned Passwords, Open Source in the .NET Foundation and Working with the FBI

I've got 2 massive things to announce today that have been a long time in the works and by pure coincidence, have aligned such that I can share them together here today. One you would have been waiting for and one totally out of left field. Both these announcements are being made at a time where Pwned Passwords is seeing unprecedented growth: > Getting closer and closer to the 1B requests a month mark for @haveibeenpwned [https://twitter.com/haveibeenpwned?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]'s Pwned Passwords...

Sweden is now the 4th Scandinavian country I've welcomed onto HIBP and I hope to see many more from other parts of the world join in the future....
