A massive trove of 361 million email addresses from credentials stolen by password-stealing malware, in credential stuffing attacks, and from data breaches was added to the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service, allowing anyone to check if their accounts have been compromised.

With a dataset this large, no site that allows logins is unaffected by these leaked credentials

    no site that allows logins is unaffected

    Why these double negatives.

    all sites that allow logins are affected

      It’s like saying “nobody is safe”, saying “everyone is in danger” doesn’t quite sound the same

        It’s like saying “nobody is not in danger”

          negatives cancel out, so that means “body is in danger”

          you’re not unwelcome

    I like how the article has several links to things it mentions, but doesn’t link to Have I Been Pwned at all even though that’s the key site of the whole thing and where the reader should go to see if they’re affected. Well done, article.
