The big news this week has been dealing with that massive volume of data I loaded into HIBP a week ago. A combination of the mechanics of getting it loaded, the flood of feedback once I did and actually trying to prepare myself for upcoming talks has made it a bit of a crazy week. If I'm honest, I'm feeling a bit run down from it all and need to take it a bit easier before heading away in a couple of weeks' time. Be that as it may, this has been a full-on week and I've captured the highlights below:

- Here's some guidance from the Aussie government on GDPR (my GDPR course should be live soon, extraterritoriality is a big part of it)
- I loaded more than 1 billion new records into HIBP... (two massive combo lists with hundreds of thousands of my subscribers in there)
- ...and then I spent a heap of time explaining why I can't give people their passwords (I get why people want this data, but it's an absolute minefield and of questionable benefit)
- My dentist got their cybers pwned (it was more painful listening to this unfold than it was being in the dentist's chair)
- Here's a free course on Ransomware (heaps of business are woefully unprepared for ransomware, worth a watch and a share)
- Netsparker is back on the sponsor bar (as I've said many times before, I do genuinely use these guys and they do some very cool testing tools)
