Not sure if it is your intent, but this implies that HIBP does not work directly with companies to mitigate credential re-use. It does. Some examples would be their partnership with 1Password and other password managers, Firefox, their partnership with the FBI, UK & Australian governments, etc.

HIBP ultimately is a hobby project that was really good at bringing the publics attention to the problem and booting Troy's social profile.

- ziddoap 3y agoI think you are implying that the presence or lack of a continuity plan is what determines whether something is a hobby project or not. And I think that's an extremely silly way to determine if something is a hobby project or not.
