Have I Been Pwned has added almost 71 million email addresses associated with stolen accounts in the Naz.API dataset to its data breach notification service.

The Naz.API dataset is a massive collection of 1 billion credentials compiled using credential stuffing lists and data stolen by information-stealing malware.

Credential stuffing lists are collections of login name and password pairs stolen from previous data breaches that are used to breach accounts on other sites.

Information-stealing malware attempts to steal a wide variety of data from an infected computer, including credentials saved in browsers, VPN clients, and FTP clients. This type of malware also attempts to steal SSH keys, credit cards, cookies, browsing history, and cryptocurrency wallets.

    Step 1: drop gmail

    Step 2: get proton mail and activate simple login or use one of the alias slots they give you (or both!). Enjoy.

    Optional step 3: Use Firefox relay on top if you really want to go wild but I find this gets folks turned around when layered on top as well. Great for burner/1-time use emails though.b
