But who will leak?
- Buge 9y agoWhat is the question? Are you asking who breached 1Password? Some hacker, just like any breach. Are you asking who tell the general public? Some hacker, or some chain of associates, just like any breach. HIBP only stores breaches that have previously been made public. So for for HIBP to "ignore" a breach, the breach has to already be public, so there will be news organizations covering the breach if it's big.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agoLets say it did happen. And now they keep it quiet. This DB would end up on a darknet auction somewhere, and that's where things get "fun". Now, people can talk about this auction and all the really bad ramifications of both parties hiding it. Worse yet, I could see someone waiting a month, and them leaking a DB that's fake and encrypting and dumping on the Darknet. The goal there is slander.. It doesn't have to happen for the damage to be done.
