If I’m honest, I was never that keen on a merch store for Have I Been Pwned<\/a>. It doesn’t make the code run faster, nor does it load any more data breaches or add any useful features to the service whatsoever. But… people were keen. They wanted swag they could wear or drink from or whatever, and it’s actually pretty cool that there’s excitement about HIBP as a brand. Plus, setting up a merch store is easy, right?<\/p>\n
