So why was the owner of LeakedSource arrested and charged, and this guy isn't?

He did the same thing. Only instead of selling to hackers, he sold our hacked data to companies and governments.




I agree with your sentiment, but there is the difference in criminal intent with the former.

It's legal to sell armor piercing bullets, but marketing them as "cop killers" will not fly.


Does HIBP sell the raw data?


Nope. Though I suppose if HIBP itself were acquired, that would presumably include the raw data?


I sense trolling
