Four and a half years ago now, I rolled out version 2 of HIBP's Pwned Passwords that implemented a really cool k-anonymity model courtesy of the brains at Cloudflare. Later in 2018, I did the same thing with the email address search feature used by Mozilla, 1Password and a handful of other paying subscribers.

There are presently 201k people monitoring domains in Have I Been Pwned (HIBP). That's 201k people that have searched for a domain, left their email address for future notifications when the domain appears in a new breach and successfully verified that they control the domain. That's massive!

I want a "secure by default" internet with all the things encrypted all the time such that people can move freely between networks without ever needing to care about who manages them or what they're doing with them. I mean what's the remaining gap? In the end I broke it down into 3 Ps: padlocks, phishing and privacy.

I've been chatting about this in some of my recent weekly videos and I thought it was finally time to sit down and write the blog post. It all began when Rob Conery reached out a few years ago and said "dude, we should totally turn a bunch of your blog posts into a book" to which I replied, "why?" Gotcha, makes sense.

When it comes to defending their networks, most companies have had it drilled into them, by now, that it’s essential to erect layered defenses. And yet, after a couple of decades of piling up layer upon layer of defenses, catastrophic breaches persist — they’re occurring as often as ever, and causing more harm than ever.

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.

Last week I wrote a couple of different pieces on passwords, firstly about why we're going to be stuck with them for a long time yet and then secondly, about how we all bear some responsibility for making good password choices. This week, I wanted to focus on going beyond passwords and talk about 2FA.

Back in 2013, I was beginning to get the sense that data breaches were becoming a big thing. The prevalence of them seemed to be really ramping up as was the impact they were having on those of us that found ourselves in them, myself included. And so Have I Been Pwned was born. "Have I been pwned?"
