Greetings all,

Troy Hunt, website creator for
"Have I Been Pwned" (HIBP.com )
Wrote about his appearance next week in DC, and the comments after the article are worth reading thru first, before adding anything new as a suggestion. Here's an excerpt:

"
There's a title I never expected to write! But it's exactly what it sounds like and on Thursday next week, I'll be up in front of US congress on the other side of the world testifying about the impact of data breaches. It's an amazing opportunity to influence decision makers at the highest levels of government and frankly, I don't want to stuff it up which is why I'm asking the question - what should I say?

For a bit more context, I've been chatting with folks from the House Energy and Commerce Committee for a while now about the mechanics of data breaches. Obviously, the work I've been doing with Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) has given me a heap of insight into this specific area of infosec over the last 4 years and the folks from DC felt my views on things might be helpful. That was all great and I was happy to share my thoughts from the other side of the world. Then, a few weeks ago, they reached out and per the title of this post, said "Hey, how about testifying in front of congress in Washington DC?" Uh, you know I'm Australian, right? And yes, they knew of my funny accent and the fact that I was on the other side of the world but now, here we are.

It was a really good Q&A as I watched this afternoon. I woke up late, and missed the live feed.
