So today is Have I Been Pwned's (HIBP's) 5th birthday. I'd love to say I had the foresight to see all this coming but I didn't. I just did the things I thought made sense at the time and that was that. As the 5th birthday approached, I asked people what I should do.

Ever notice how there was a massive gap of almost 9 months between announcing the intention to start open sourcing Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) in August last year and then finally a couple of weeks ago, actually taking the first step with Pwned Passwords ? How much code would I be reviewing?

And as I say at the start of this video, I did seriously consider having a week off these videos, but I found a comfy spot by the fire and a cold beer and all was good in the world again. I'm in Whistler!

I've just ordered 10k more HIBP stickers to last me through upcoming events so they'll be coming with me. There's also a very stead feed of breaches making their way into HIBP after appearing for sale on dark web marketplaces so I give a bit of an update on those as well.

I started doing these retrospectives 3 years ago in my first year of independence. I reckon they're a good thing for everyone to do if not in written form then at least mentally to look back on your achievements of the year. I love this post. That's 52 days where it wasn't just a lonely slog so I'm pretty happy about that.

When you boil it down, what do those three things have in common? This is part of the opening monologue of the Ozark series and when I first heard it, I immediately stopped the show and dropped it into this blog post. It's a post that has been many years coming, one I started drafting about 5 years ago.

This is going to be a lengthy blog post so let me use this opening paragraph as a summary of where Project Svalbard is at : Have I Been Pwned is no longer being sold and I will continue running it independently. I was tired, alone, emotional and if I'm honest, at an all-time low. My bag hadn't made it.
