buherator<span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://infosec.exchange/@cR0w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>cR0w</span></a></span> I agree the post is far from optimal, but try to look at it this way: in a system as big as CF's you rarely see individual request data, but you can correlate HIBP alerts with status codes and write a blog post with big %s about password stuffing. You don't write about anonymization because you never saw anything that'd need anonymizing so there's nothing you did that's worth writing about. Again, I agree this should've been flagged by PR, but we've seen bigger blunders from that department...<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://infosec.place/tag/hanlonsrazor" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HanlonsRazor</a>
