Weekly Update 459

New week, different end of the world! After a fleeting stop at home, we're in Japan for a proper holiday (yet somehow I'm still here writing this.) with the first stop in Tokyo. It's like nowhere else here, and this is now probably my 10th trip to Japan over a period of more than three decades. What I think has changed the most in terms of my perceptions of Japan is that back in the 90s, it was just so high tech here because we hadn't seen a lot of the stuff that was on the m

Welcoming Truyu to Have I Been Pwned's Partner Program

I always used to joke that when people used Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), we effectively said "Oh no - you've been pwned! Uh, good luck!" and left it at that. That was fine when it was a pet project used by people who live in a similar world to me, but it didn't do a lot for the everyday folks just learning about the scary world of data breaches.

I'm in Austria! Well, I was in Austria, I'm now somewhere over the Aussie desert as I try and end this trip on top of my "to-do" list. The Have I Been Pwned Alpine Grand Tour was a great success with loads of time spent with govs, public meetups and users of this little data breach project that kinda escalated. As I say in the vid, I'm posting a lot more pics publicly to my Facebook page , so if you want to see the highlights, head over there.

Firstly, apologies for the annoying clipping in the audio. I use a Rode VideoMic that's a shotgun style that plugs straight into the iPhone and it's usually pretty solid. It was also solid when I tested it again now, just recording a video into the phone, so I don't know if this was connection related or what, but I was in no position to troubleshoot once the stream had started, unfortunately.

It's time to fly! It's two months to the day since we came back from the last European trip, again spending the time with some of the agencies and partners we've fostered at HIBP over the years. This time, it's the driving tour I talked about earlier last month , and we have absolutely jam-packed it! But hey, it's a part of the world I love driving in, it's summer over there (I know, it's a bit upside-down in that half of the world), and there are lots of cool

The bot-fighting is a non-stop battle. In this week's video, I discuss how we're tweaking Cloudflare Turnstile and combining more attributes around how bot-like requests are, and. it almost worked. Just as I was preparing to write this intro, I found a small spike of anomalous traffic that, upon further investigation, should have been blocked.

Weekly Update 454

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 takes weeks of tweaks and refinements to iron out all the little creases, both known and unpredictable.
