Someone in our local SIG raised a question about http://www.haveibeenpwned.com. It had been promoted for some time, after every major security breach of account credentials, as a place to check your accounts. I haven't seen any reports of problems related to it, nor does a quick Google search turn up any. There are some kudos from people I would generally trust to know what is going on. But I haven't heard any first hand experiences, either. The site is registered to: Troy Hunt, New South Wales, Australia troyhunt () hotmail com Anybody know him? From some stuff on his blog, he seems reasonable, but he could be a fake with an attachment to the Russian mob and a good command of written English, for all I know. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done. victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
