Have I been Pwned goes open source

The question isn't "Does someone have your user IDs and passwords?" I guarantee you someone has. Don't believe me? Check for yourself at Have I Been Pwned (HIBP). Now, do you believe me?

People check the free HIBP site at a rate of almost 1 billion requests per month. It collects data from all the many personal security breaches that happen every week or two. Last year alone we saw dozens of data breaches. Moving forward, HIBP will now also receive compromised passwords discovered in the course of FBI investigations.

Why is the FBI getting involved? Because Bryan A. Vorndran, the FBI's Assistant Director, Cyber Division, said, "We are excited to be partnering with HIBP on this important project to protect victims of online credential theft. It is another example of how important public/private partnerships are in the fight against cybercrime."
