Uh, good luck!&#8221; and left it at that. That was fine when it was a pet project used by people who live in a similar world to me, but it didn&#8217;t do a lot for the everyday folks just learning about the scary world of data breaches. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/have-i-been-pwned-is-now-partnering-with-1password\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Partnering with 1Password in 2018<\/a> helped, but the impact of data breaches goes well beyond the exposure of passwords, so a couple of months ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/after-the-breach-finding-new-partners-with-solutions-for-have-i-been-pwned-users\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">I wrote about finding new partners to help victims &#8220;after the breach&#8221;<\/a>, Today, I&#8217;m very happy to welcome the first such partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truyu.com.au\/?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Truyu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I alluded to Truyu being an excellent example of a potential partner in the aforementioned blog post, so their inclusion in this program should come as no surprise, but let me embellish further. In fact, let&#8217;s start with something <em>very <\/em>topical as of the moment of posting:<\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New email from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Qantas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=troyhunt.com\">@Qantas<\/a> just now: \u201cwe believe your personal information was accessed during the cyber incident\u201d. They definitely deserve credit for early communication. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dTLlvI0Byq?ref=troyhunt.com\">pic.twitter.com\/dTLlvI0Byq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/troyhunt\/status\/1940359411614290334?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref=troyhunt.com\">July 2, 2025<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pure coincidence that Qantas&#8217; incident coincides with the onboarding of an Aussie identity protection service, but it also makes it all the more relevant. My own personal circumstances are a perfect example: apparently, my name, email address, phone number, date of birth, and frequent flyer number <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberdaily.au\/security\/12322-qantas-hack-experts-points-finger-at-scattered-spider-collective?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">are now in the hands of a hacking group not exactly known for protecting people&#8217;s privacy<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/after-the-breach-finding-new-partners-with-solutions-for-have-i-been-pwned-users\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">the earlier blog post about onboarding new partners<\/a>, I showed how Truyu had sent me early alerts when my identity data was used to sign up for a couple of different financial services. If that happens as a result of the Qantas breach, at least I&#8217;m going to know about it early.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of Truyu as the first of several upcoming partners heralds the first time we&#8217;ve tailored content based on the geolocation of the user. What that means is that depending on where you are in the world, you may see something different to this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2025\/07\/image.png?resize=1317%2C912&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Welcoming Truyu to Have I Been Pwned's Partner Program\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1317\" height=\"912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/size\/w600\/2025\/07\/image.png 600w, https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/size\/w1000\/2025\/07\/image.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2025\/07\/image.png 1317w\"><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;m seeing Truyu on <a href=\"https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com\/Breach\/Dropbox?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">the Dropbox breach page<\/a> because I&#8217;m in Australia, and if you&#8217;re not, you won&#8217;t. You&#8217;ll have your own footer with your own country, which is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.cloudflare.com\/network\/ip-geolocation\/?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Cloudflare&#8217;s IP geolocation headers<\/a>. In time, depending on where you are in the world, you&#8217;ll see more content tailored specifically for you where it&#8217;s relevant to your location. That&#8217;s not just product placements either, we&#8217;ll be adding other resources I&#8217;ll share more about shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Putting another brand name on HIBP is not something I take lightly, as is evidenced by the fact this is only the second time I&#8217;ve done this in nearly 12 years. Truyu is there because it&#8217;s a product I genuinely believe provides value to data breach victims and in this case, one I also use myself. And for what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;ve also spent time with the Truyu team in person on multiple occasions and have only positive things to say about them. That, in my book, goes a long way.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s our new partner, and they&#8217;ve arrived at just the perfect time. Now I&#8217;m off to jump on a Qantas flight, wish me luck!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Troy Hunt<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/welcoming-truyu-to-have-i-been-pwneds-partner-program\/\">Go to troyhunt<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcoming Truyu to Have I Been Pwned&#8217;s Partner Program I always used to joke that when people used Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), we effectively said &#8220;Oh no &#8211; you&#8217;ve been pwned!
