PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Python interface to Have I Been Pwned API
Have I Been Pwned is a free resource to quickly assess if an account or domain has been compromised or "pwned" in a data breach. By aggregating the data here the project helps victims be aware of account compromises, and highlights the severity of the risks of Internet-wide attacks.

requests
gevent
This library runs on Python3.x+
To install, run:
$ pip install hibp
You can query breach data on individual accounts/domains as well as data on full breaches. Each service request object contains a response attribute that holds the raw data output in JSON format. To perform a query, just setup a service request object, and then execute:
>> req = HIBP.get_account_breaches("pegasos1")
>> req.execute()
>> req.response
If you want to query on multiple accounts or domains at once, you can use the AsyncHIBP
object, which performs queries concurrently via gevent.
>> names = ['adobe','ashleymadison', 'myspace']
>> breaches = [HIBP.get_breach(x) for x in names]
>> async_reqs = AsyncHIBP().map(breaches)
>> [async_req.response for async_req in async_reqs]
In addition to a canonical map
method, AsyncHIBP
also supports the imap
method, which returns a generator object for lazy queries.
>> domains = ['twitter.com','facebook.com', 'adobe.com']
>> breaches = [HIBP.get_domain_breaches(x) for x in domains]
>> async_reqs = AsyncHIBP().imap(breaches)
>> next(async_reqs)
