    How long until these e-mails get spammed with invites to my1337newtracker.xyz?

    Sad news...
    Internet archive is one of the last bastions of what internet used to be.

    (In a side note: "Have I Been Pwned" is such an e-mail grabber...)

    I don't see what the owner would have to gain from that, or at least I don't think getting some non-breached addresses and logging who searches for what would be worth the effort.

    If people followed good security practices, HIBP would be unnecessary, but that's a different matter...

    The visitor's ip and whatever his browser talks about his system can be associated with all the logins he had in the breached sites.

    Its little to sell, but unfortunately there is a market for information crossing.

    Well, I regret looking myself up when I made that trip to Torland now

    By the way, archive.org is still down.
