I wouldn't be comfortable doing this, for one thing, we know people tend to re-use passwords. So any email/password info you collect should be treated with security like they just gave you their bank login, because some of them did. So then Troy has to report himself to his own service (haveibeenpwned).
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agothe article goes into detail to explain how only spammers have a key to the api which logs that data

- ImPostingOnHN 4y ago"they're still people", indeed I hope so, or else either the animals or the machines are spamming us on their own somehow ;) they're still spammers, though, and yeah, I totally think they deserve this

- bo1024 4y agoUpdate, I see only the passwords are logged and not the emails, but still not great.
