DESCRIPTION

Each breach contains a number of attributes describing the incident. In the future, these attributes may expand without the API being versioned.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

A creation method that should only be called by WebService::HIBP.

name

A camel-cased name representing the breach which is unique across all other breaches. This value never changes and may be used to name dependent assets (such as images) but should not be shown directly to end users (see the title attribute instead).

title

A descriptive title for the breach suitable for displaying to end users. It's unique across all breaches but individual values may change in the future (i.e. if another breach occurs against an organisation already in the system). If a stable value is required to reference the breach, refer to the name attribute instead.

domain

The domain of the primary website the breach occurred on. This may be used for identifying other assets external systems may have for the site.

breach_date

The date (with no time) the breach originally occurred on in ISO 8601 format. This is not always accurate - frequently breaches are discovered and reported long after the original incident. Use this attribute as a guide only.

added_date

The date and time (precision to the minute) the breach was added to the system in ISO 8601 format.

modified_date

The date and time (precision to the minute) the breach was modified in ISO 8601 format. This will only differ from the added_date attribute if other attributes represented here are changed or data in the breach itself is changed (i.e. additional data is identified and loaded). It is always either equal to or greater then the added_date attribute, never less than.

pwn_count

The total number of accounts loaded into the system. This is usually less than the total number reported by the media due to duplication or other data integrity issues in the source data.

description

Contains an overview of the breach represented in HTML markup. The description may include markup such as emphasis and strong tags as well as hyperlinks.

data_classes

This attribute describes the nature of the data compromised in the breach and contains an alphabetically ordered string list of impacted data classes.

is_verified

Indicates that the breach is considered unverified. An unverified breach may not have been hacked from the indicated website. An unverified breach is still loaded into HIBP when there's sufficient confidence that a significant portion of the data is legitimate.

is_fabricated

Indicates that the breach is considered fabricated. A fabricated breach is unlikely to have been hacked from the indicated website and usually contains a large amount of manufactured data. However, it still contains legitimate email addresses and asserts that the account owners were compromised in the alleged breach.

is_sensitive

Indicates if the breach is considered sensitive. The public API will not return any accounts for a breach flagged as sensitive.

is_retired

Indicates if the breach has been retired. This data has been permanently removed and will not be returned by the API.

is_spam_list

Indicates if the breach is considered a spam list. This flag has no impact on any other attributes but it means that the data has not come as a result of a security compromise.

logo_path

No documentation for this yet. May be removed without notice.

DIAGNOSTICS

None.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

WebService::HIBP::Breach requires no configuration files or environment variables.

WebService::HIBP requires no non-core modules

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported
