if their ethics are below the high standard Troy has been upholding for the Have I been pwned.
Troy himself has a well earned reputation in the infosec industry. It's not for nothing he previously was called to the US congress 2017 and made IMO a very good talk about data breaches. It was even briefly covered here on MT when it happened.
