Collaborate Disseminate
What. A. Week.
I’ve been in San Fran meeting with a whole bunch of potential purchasers for HIBP and it’s been… intense. Daunting. Exciting. It’s actually an amazing feeling to see my “little” project come to this where I’m sitting in a room with some of the most awesome tech
It’s the last one from Norway before heading off to the US and diving into the deep end of the Project Svalbard pool followed by Black Hat and DEF CON in Vegas. That’s off the back of the last week being focused on pushing out Pwned Passwords V5, loading several
The very first feature I added to Have I Been Pwned after I launched it back in December 2013 was the public API. My thinking at the time was that it would make the data more easily accessible to more people to go and do awesome things; build mobile clients,

I’ve become especially reflective of my career this year, especially as Project Svalbard marches forward and I look back on what it’s taken to get here. Especially as I have more discussions around the various turning points in my professional life, there’s one that stands out above most others: my
Early last year, I announced that I was making HIBP data on government domains for the UK and Australia freely accessible to them via searches of their respective TLDs. The Spanish government followed a few months later with each getting unbridled access to search their own domains via an authenticated

Something totally new this week – Israel! I spent the week in Tel Aviv at Cyber Week, a massive infosec conference where I shared the keynote stage with an amazing array of speakers including many from three letter acronym departments and even PM Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s funny how on the
So first things first – my patience for the Instamics we’re wearing just reached zero. One of them recorded and one of them didn’t which means we’ve had to fallback to audio captured by the iPhone I was recording from so apologies it’s sub-par. I ended up just uploading the
