Troy Hunt: 12 years of Have I Been Pwned & the truth about AI scams - Life on Mars Podcast Episode 111

We sit down with Troy Hunt, the creator of Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), to discuss the evolution of cybersecurity over the last 12 years. We explore whether AI is truly changing the nature of data breaches, why the banking industry is still stuck with insecure SMS, and the fascinating story of how HIBP remains a lean, bootstrapped team of three people despite handling billions of queries. Troy also opens up about the 2019 acquisition process that almost changed everything and why he is ultimately glad the deal fell through.
