Introducing paste searches and monitoring for “Have I been pwned?”

I’ve got 174,451,409 breached accounts in Have I been pwned? (HIBP) as of today which probably sounds like a lot, but it’s not. Why is it not a lot? Because whilst that list spans a lot of the big breaches I could get my hands on, as of the middle of this year (now a couple of months ago already), there were over half a billion accounts breached in just six months. That’s just nuts and as that article explains, its set us on a track that will make 2014 the most hacked year to date by a fairly significant margin over last year which was the previous most hacky year.
