The FBI will soon begin to share compromised passwords with Have I Been Pwned’s ‘Password Pwned’ service that were discovered during law enforcement investigations.
Today, Have I Been Pwned creator Troy Hunt announced that the FBI would soon be feeding compromised passwords found during law enforcement investigations into the Pwned Password service.
By providing this feed, the FBI will allow administrators and users to check for passwords that are known to be used for malicious purposes. Admins can then change the passwords before they are used in credential stuffing attacks and network breaches.
