socialjunkie··on 3 Major Data Dumps (Tumblr,LinkedIn,MySpace) Downloadable
It has changed for some reason it no longer has myspace on there but has tumblr, linkedin and nulled.io data dumps. The only one I can see that doesn't work is the linkedin one, the other two do so what exactly is fake about it? It's already up on two paste sites and I clicked on all three of the buttons and was able to download tumblr and nulled.io data dumps.
socialjunkie··on Have I Been Pwned? Data breach master list with API
After reading recent coverage on this guy and his HIBP site, I think it's an absolute disgrace and to be honest I can't seriously be the only one! He gets away with having all these stolen database dumps which is illegal anyway but gets to build a whole site housed around this stolen data and further more benefits from it?! How is this guy any different to one of the people that built an Ashley Madison email search site (ones that didn't display PII) or another search site that allows for the searching through these data dumps? Why is he above the law, the FBI etc have turned a blind eye to what this guy is doing yet will happily see these other site owners prosecuted to the full extent of the law! It's actually quite disgusting that there is one rule for Troy Hunt but another rule for others. The fact of the matter is that in plain simple terms what this guy is doing is actually against the law and illegal. Someone needs to bring a class action lawsuit against this guy and get HIBP shut down! Oh yeah and he claims that haveibeenpwned.org is nothing to do with him as well, I say that is a load of BS!
