Weekly update 34

The big news this week has been dealing with that massive volume of data I loaded into HIBP a week ago.

• My dentist got their cybers pwned (it was more painful listening to this unfold than it was being in the dentist's chair)
• Here's a free course on Ransomware (heaps of business are woefully unprepared for ransomware, worth a watch and a share)
• Netsparker is back on the sponsor bar (as I've said many times before, I do genuinely use these guys and they do some very cool testing tools)
