Since starting HIBP a dozen and a bit years ago, I've loaded an average of one breach every 4.7 days. That's 959 of them to date, but last week it was five in only two days. That's a few weeks' worth of breaches in only 48 and a half hours. And that's the way it tends to be in this industry: flurries of activity followed by periods of silence. I obviously don't have any control over the cadence of breaches (nor when they begin circulating), which does make for some interesting scheduling challenges. Somewhere amongst responding to those incidents, we manage to do all the other mechanical things required to keep this service running the way it does. Anyway, this week it's "breachapalooza", with some behind-the-scenes info on the Odido, KomikoAI, Quitbro, Lovora and Provecho.
