  • This is not a breach of 183 million Gmail account passwords. This is a collection of credentials, largely stolen by infostealer malware and circulating among cyber criminals, which was collected by a security researcher and passed on to Have I Been Pwned. Over 90% of the data has already been seen in previous releases.

    Adding the details of website URLs, email addresses and passwords to the Have I Been Pwned database, owner Troy Hunt said the data consisted of both “stealer logs and credential stuffing lists” including confirmed Gmail login credentials.

    The “confirmed Gmail login” bit comes from contacting one of the victims at random to verify the data and he confirmed the password was his Gmail password. It doesn’t appear to be a Gmail breach, just the results of credential stealing happened to include some people logging into Gmail.

    Edit: Perhaps a more useful link is the original blog post from Have I Been Pwned’s Troy Hunt.




  • But if part of this is sparsely-populated farmland, being able to compare population density might give us a better picture of where the people really are. It wouldn’t necessarily help us visually compare population, since London doesn’t seem to have a lot of high rise residential buildings, but maybe give a better idea of the sprawl.














  • For my grandparents’ 50th anniversary a huge group of the family spent a week at a dude ranch in central Oregon. They had a cattle ranch when my dad was a kid and always kind of scoffed at the idea of a dude ranch but everyone had a great time. My mom wanted me to know what I was doing so I had riding lessons for months before we went, and kept it up for a while after. I loved trail riding the most of all of it. It was fun on the East Coast but riding through the desert, canyons, and lava walls on the east side of the Cascade Mountains was really special. That was over 30 years ago but I miss it every time I’m around horses.
