Ha! I didn't know that website ran out of Australia. That's really neat.
I don't buy the whole "he's just some guy on the web" argument. Like, that's a positive as far as I'm concerned. He has no agenda, no shareholders to answer to. He's just doing a community service where he collates data from assorted breaches and makes it easy to look up if you've been compromised.
I appreciated how he strips the identifiable information from it also (no names/addresses etc). I've had a watch on his site for years. If anything, this article increased my trust in how it operates.
