Never a dull moment! Most important stuff this week is talking about next week, namely because Scott Helme and I will be dong a live stream together for the 5th anniversary of my weekly update vids. We'd love questions and topics in advance or just drop in on the day, we're planning it for 18:00 Gold Coast time on Friday 24 which will be 09:00 that morning in London and ridiculous o'clock everywhere in the US. A few other random things in this weeks vid, the one worth following up on here though is the promised tweet about how to handle the Epik breach and the result so far is, well, let's just say I think I nailed the public sentiment in the video:

Processing the Epik breach and there's *lots* of email addresses taken from other places, for example stored copies of WHOIS records. If your address is in there - even if you didn't subscribe to the service - do you want @haveibeenpwned to notify you that they have your address?
