Show HN: Find out if employees have been in a data breach, leak, or hack
7 points by samsnelling 9 years ago | 5 comments- remyp 9 years agoInteresting idea. I have to fork over a bunch of very sensitive information so you can search through data leaks for it? If so, I'd think you would become a big target to be hacked yourself.
Additionally, if you're digging through leaked/hacked/stolen data, you by definition have to possess it. I wonder what the legality of possessing that data is, let alone selling indirect access to it?
- samsnelling 9 years agoWhat very sensitive information do you think you have to give?
- remyp 9 years agoEverything listed on the site under "Credential Hero Protects Your Employees' Information" was my initial thought.
Since you've asked I suspect that you are only looking for email addresses and these are simply examples of data that could be associated with a leaked address.
- samsnelling 9 years agoThanks. Yep, I only check a hash of an email address and associate what information was leaked in the data set.
I appreciate the comment because it shows how unclear it is. A lot of clarification copy / work is needed.

- brbsix 9 years agoDoes this use haveibeenpwned.com's API? Looks almost identical apart from the interface support for multiple monitors.
