IPDetective collects data from about 60+ different sources such as official cloud provider endpoints and public VPN/Proxy/Tor/Bot net lists. Then aggregates this data into a fast and easy to use API that can be integrated into applications or scripts easily. IPDetective started as a hobby project for my other hobby projects :) and I decided to wrap a simple website around and offer it as a service. Let me know what your thoughts, if you find value in this service or if you have any feature requests.

The hacker then used her credentials to steal 54 other employee passwords. Current solutions to phishing are limited to forcing employees to attend training to spot these hacks and attempting to judge the URL's reputation. People don't have time to pay attention to every url they click. This is especially true when faced with deadlines. Even the technical…
