  1. Why do you have Have I Been Pwned as your website URL?

      For a while, my url was a link to a walrus meme. While unashamedly hilarious, it was ultimately just a meme. So, I decided that if I'm going to advertise something, it might as well be a worthwhile website to promote. Haveibeenpwned.com is an actual website. It's premise is that you can tell it your email address, and it will tell you if it knows of any entries on the dark web that mention it. It's the site that told me that one of my old emails had been caught up in a data breach connected to a virtual classroom site I used back in... grade 8? Sometime around then. Suffice to say, that served as ample inspiration for me to change my passwords away from variants of the one that had been exposed. I figured if it was useful for me, it might help some other people as well. I highly recommend checking it out.

      Good question.

      Alright, makes sense. I used Have I Been Pwned a while ago and definitely needed to change a ton of passwords. I was just wondering if you own the website or something.

      Also, the walrus meme was indeed hilarious.
