Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), created by Troy Hunt, is a free resource designed to help individuals quickly determine if their online accounts have been compromised or "pwned" in a data breach. Hunt's goal was to make HIBP as straightforward and accessible as possible, ensuring it was entirely free to maximize its benefit to the community.
Users are encouraged to support this invaluable resource by making donations on the HIBP website. This support helps keep the community informed about data breaches, ensuring that individuals can stay vigilant about their online security.
