We’ve had an absolutely MASSIVE month at @haveibeenpwned.com! 20M visitors, billions of processed records, a major rewrite of our ingestion pipeline (thanks @stebet.net!) and seemingly endless support tickets and other enquires. Every time I think it’s peaked…

Oh yeah! Now *this* is cool! Or freaky 🤔 Doorbell by @mUbiquiti, voice by ElevenLabs and orchestration by Home Assistant. It’s an evolution of this post: www.troyhunt.com/home-assista...

In case you’re interested, here’s the human-generated “slop”. Paying humans to try and keep up with AI for use cases like this is just nuts.

This is me, 32 years ago, a 16 year old in 1992 trying to make some cash. Worked out good in the long run 😊

Well, that explains the traffic: 2.46M visitors to Have I Been Pwned in 24 hours, mostly from Google searches. The inbound traffic is near unprecedented, with only the Collection 1 credential stuffing list in Jan 2019 and the Facebook scrape in April 2021 coming close.

One million visitors to Have I Been Pwned in half a day. The “16B” breached records headlines are driving a lot of traffic, especially given we haven’t actually loaded any data!

Alright folks, a real human at a challenge coin co has done a first draft of this, what are your thoughts (other than they spelled "defence" like an American)? Kangaroo side really isn't working for me compared to the AI one above, but the other side with the logo is looking solid. Anything else?

Troy Hunt @troyhunt.com · 27/04/2025

Working on the @haveibeenpwned.com challenge coin, are we on the right track? Other side would be much more formal (new logo), what would you like to see?

It’s not a real data breach unless it causes people serious harm. Words to that effect are rife throughout privacy reforms that continue to prioritise the responsible organisation over the impacted individuals www.ashurst.com/en/insights/...

We're now serving well over 12 *BILLION* requests every month from Pwned Passwords 😲 And we served 99.97% of those requests from one of 335 Cloudflare edge nodes around the world. This service totally rocks 😎

Scams, deception and misrepresentation are absolutely everywhere. Who can see what’s going on here in the legitimate YouTube app?

You don’t need to register and login, you can literally see it right there in the Bsky app, it’s just a browser window

Troy Hunt @troyhunt.com · 12/01/2025

What exactly are you seeing? The in-app browser shows the screen earlier, even just Chrome incognito goes directly to content with a login link above that:

Troy Hunt @troyhunt.com · 12/01/2025

SuperDraft (and most other orgs) doesn’t have an account here so I couldn’t tag them. And you don’t need an X account to view the content, this is directly from within Bsky:

X doesn’t force you to sign up 🤦‍♂️

But it *is* publicly accessible! This is what I’m seeing within the Bsky app when clicking that link. Asking me to do more work across yet another platform due to philosophical difference with Elon isn’t the answer.
