yeah not going to use any search tool where i need to enter my number ... you could just post the data by area codes..... just create a bland UI that lists all area codes ..let user click into the area code and then on the next page list all the phone numbers in that area code that have been affected.

I'd use that but not searching by phone number.

Wow, you spend really a lot of effort on virtue signaling. Should we also institute public lynching of all employees of companies that had security breaches?

Depends on when they joined Facebook. Early employees had no idea what it would become.

I wish there was an "email" input. Last time I had a Facebook account was 10 years ago (probably before phone numbers were de facto identity) and I would be fascinated to learn if my old accounts were in the leak, because Facebook was supposed to fully delete those accounts :)

HIBP added the email addresses that were part of the leak:

Totally. I tried to phrase it as a "cool off" period since they were last employed by the company. If someone hasn't worked there in five years, they're not involved in the present day debacle and can't vote against company practices.

Well, maybe you were on to something-- your thoughts inspired me to think about this a little more- we just need a unique salt only the user would know.

still, bcrypt's design means it'll take way too many cycles to brute-force-reverse the dataset, so it should be safe to share. One downside of a record-specific salt is nicknames e.g. john vs johnathan , or misspellings. (false negatives)

Just off the top of my head: you can hash the text with hash-1, and send a query containing a hash id bucket computed with h1%(N/1000), get 1000 responses from the server hashed with h2 function. Then we can search for our h2 inside the 1000 results without the server knowing which one we were looking at. We also can't decode the 1000 responses we got.

This is basically how HIBP's Pwned Password API works:

My number was leaked (checked the dump myself) but I don't show up on this site. Seems like there are some bugs to work out

I haven't had the chance to check the dump but I am sure Facebook had my phone number. I'm surprised this site says my number wasn't leaked.
