Troy Hunt is the creator of Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), a free resource designed to allow individuals to swiftly evaluate if their online accounts may have been compromised or "pwned" in a data breach. Hunt's intention was to make HIBP as straightforward and accessible as possible, ensuring it was entirely free to maximize its benefit to the community. It is suggested that users consider making a donation on the HIBP website to support this invaluable resource, which keeps the community informed about data breaches.
