Jokes on them... I'm already on HIBP countless of times...
I'm also on HIBP over 10x. What are we supposed to do? Create a new email address for every service we sign up for? I don't know what the best practice is for keeping our personal data safe anymore.

“I went to the site to jerk off (to an adult scenario, to be clear) and noticed that it looked like it [the Muah.ai website] was put together pretty poorly,” the hacker told 404 Media. “It's basically a handful of open-source projects duct-taped together. I started poking around and found some vulnerabilities relatively quickly. At the start it was mostly just curiosity but I decided to contact you once I saw what wa…
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but pentesting is not a particularly evil activity — and you often have to look at data to see if you actually found something. What is evil is the way that he's ensured that the predators in the dataset will never face any consequences by making the data available to HaveIBeenPwned, making it trivial for predators to protect themselves (the method through which this is poss…

The undertone was intended to be: that's an insane amount of money, something one with quadruple that amount of experience would maybe earn in a for-profit organisation, but I guess your reaction further proves it's different where you're from

Can I ask why they're trying to dox you? I have literally never inspired this kind of passion on the internet--and I'm usually pretty blunt. I'm genuinely curious what it takes.

That's a strange thing to read on Hacker news. Isn't that description the definition of hack value? As in http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hack-value.html Now, it depends what the "it" is referring to here, but so far all I've heard is about an alert() message saying the usernames will be sent to a breach alerting site. If they're doing it just for the heck of it, it's still costing a lot of people a lot of time tha…
