Weekly Update 89

An exciting weekly update - I got an award! I did write about it earlier this morning, but I talk about it more in this week's update and explain why it means a lot.

In other news, I'm heading back to Europe in a few days from now so am doing the last-minute rush tying up loose ends here, finishing presentations and just generally preparing myself for what will be another hectic few weeks. I also killed off the non-anonymous endpoints of Pwned Passwords today so it's k-anonymity all the way now. Plus, in this week's blog posts, the Spanish government comes on board HIBP and I write about some really cool large-scale use cases of Pwned Passwords. Oh - and I took a bit of an ethical stance on a sponsor, that's worth listening to if you're interested in how I choose who appears on the bar at the top of this page. Next week, I'll come to you from London, see you then!
