Utilising the HaveIBeenPwned.com API, check whether email addresses and/or user names have been present in a publicly disclosed data breach.
The R package aims to be / is a feature complete wrapper of the HaveIBeenPowned API, and is useful for situations where you may want to assess data breaches or check whether one or more email addresses have been compromised.
If you get a lot of value out of this package, do consider donating to HIBP since Troy Hunt does not put any limits on the API and it’s a tremendous service.

## 1 In October 2013, 153 million Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, <em>encrypted</em> password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and <a href="http://stricture-group.com/files/adobe-top100.txt" target="_blank">many were quickly resolved back to plain text</a>. The unencrypted hints also <a href="http://www.troyhunt.com/2013/11/adobe-credentials-and-serious.html" target="_blank">disclosed much about the passwords</a> adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe customers already faced.
