This makes me wonder if the FBI is taking stolen credentials off these sites in order to use them against suspects under investigation. Do they have my passwords? Might they have yours?
- adamhearn 5y agoI would be willing to bet most intelligent FBI agents have their own stash of data breaches regardless of what agency policy is. Data breaches are truly invaluable in online investigations.
- dogma1138 5y agoFBI agents don’t break into computers unless they are part of the forensic team. The FBI forensic team / lab definitely has plenty of dictionaries.
- NotEvil 5y agoIt's written in the blog that fbi is only providing breach datasets not getting them. Through every dataset in HIBP is public already
- floatboth 5y agoIIRC every dataset in pwned passwords is public, not in all of HIBP
