Canadian Charged With Running LeakedSource.com, Selling Stolen Info (reuters.com) 27
A Canadian man accused of operating the LeakedSource.com website, a major repository of stolen online credentials, has been arrested and charged with trafficking in billions of stolen personal identity records, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said on Monday. From a report: The site, which was shut down in early 2017, had collected details from a string of major breaches and made them accessible and searchable for a fee. The man, 27-year-old Jordan Evan Bloom, is due to appear in a Toronto court on Monday to hear charges that as administrator of the site he collected some C$247,000 from the sale of stolen records and associated passwords.

Everyone of his victims get one whack at him with a small bat.

To be fair, I think there's a little segment between Thunderbay and Nipigon were there is only 1 road connecting east to west.
Everywhere else there is at least two.
(I think Labrador can only be reached on one road; and there are very few... possibly just one road to the north coast (their
s one to Tuktoyaktuk (from Whitehorse)).

You know that you've been programming for too long when the first thing that bugs you about the statement above is not the presence of spelling/grammatical mistakes but that the parentheses are unbalanced.

Also we all live in igloos.
Although the igloo is a great place to to keep the server rack.

Answer: They simply hold the bulb up to the socket, and Canada revolves around them.

We DO have only one road going from coast to coast... the aptly titled 'trans-Canada highway'.
Most of our roads don't even cross municipal boundaries!

I was confused. The headline said he was Canadian but the summary said he was from Jordan, on the other side of the globe.
Not the source (Score:1)
If your credentials are stolen and out there, then they are already available. One could easily get the same sources that he collected and have the entire database for free.
Other sites will say: yes, your password has been stolen, but you might have no idea which one, or from which time frame without being able to see the password.
